I’m a huge fan of checklists and annotating/updating them with more information (when, what, observations, etc.). I see a lot of value with checklists in managing the complexity and in making sure that something doesn’t just slip by. Even if I know several steps from memory, I’d still want a documented list to reduce/remove human error. After all, we may not have our best skills with us at all times and in all situations.

Unfortunately, the people I work with aren’t that interested in creating checklists or keeping the ones I create updated. But I trudge along hoping that sometime in the future they may get some value from it.
