Checklist

What it is for

A Checklist is a tactical control tool.

It is, essentially, a repeatable verification structure that helps teams execute without skipping critical steps.

Use it in recurring workflows, quality controls, and operational routines.

A Checklist helps you:

• Prevent omissions in repetitive processes
• Standardize quality controls
• Make verification explicit and auditable
• Keep execution consistent across teams

What it can contain

A Checklist can include everything needed for process verification.

Verification points Use each item to represent a specific step that must be checked.

Targets Convert checklist points into Targets when execution tracking is needed.

Attachments Add procedures, templates, and evidence files for operational context.

How to build a Checklist

A useful Checklist is short, precise, and operational.

1. Define the process you want to control.
2. List mandatory verification points.
3. Turn critical points into Targets when needed.
4. Keep wording clear so each item is easy to validate.

How to use this in practice

Reuse the Checklist across similar processes and update it when standards change.

If recurring mistakes appear, refine checklist items so controls become clearer and easier to apply.
