Answer:

Not all processes need to be documented and this version of the standard aims to decrease the amount of documentation. The documentation should be a balance between the competence of employees and complexity of processes. If you have competent employees you don't have to document every singe activity, the same is for the simple processes. Instead of writing procedures, sometimes it can be much easier to develop process flowchart or Quality Plan.
