Commonly that is called a "procedure" — a prescribed series of steps or rules to follow to complete a task. Depending on context you might also see:

- "instructions" (step-by-step directions),
- "protocol" (formal rules, often in technical or scientific contexts),
- "guidelines" (recommended rules, sometimes less strict), or
- "standard operating procedure (SOP)" (a documented, formal procedure used in organizations).
