Ask HN: Does your org use checklists?

Something I think various orgs I'm part of could benefit from is better management of processes for manual tasks. I wish we could develop a culture of using checklists, but I'm not sure how to make it sticky enough to get people to buy-in and believe-in.

Do any of your organizations utilize bonified checklists for things like, "we're about to deploy a release, what precisely do we do?" that are version controlled and in one way or another, actively worked through with initials/signatures/clicks and then stored somewhere for posterity?

Or more generally: have you had experiences with this flavour of not-so-heavy process management that you'd feel are worth sharing?
