Why checklists?

Why checklists work and where they work best

Checklists are not about oversimplifying your work. They’re about creating clarity, consistency, and accountability—especially in processes where missing a step means costly mistakes.

Not everything needs a checklist but many things do

In business, work typically falls into three categories:

  • Automation – Tasks that can (and probably should) be automated with software.
    Example: auto-tagging support tickets or processing payroll.
  • Complicated Work – Structured, repeatable processes that benefit from guidance.
    _Example: onboarding, publishing, compliance reviews.
  • Complex Work – Creative or uncertain problem-solving.
    _Here, checklists may not help—expertise and adaptability are key.

Checklists thrive in that middle ground: complicated work that’s repeatable, important, and prone to human error.

Why checklists improve results

  • Reduce mental load – Teams focus on doing, not remembering.
  • Catch preventable mistakes – Even experts skip steps; checklists stop that.
  • Standardize quality – Processes become repeatable and predictable.
  • Accelerate onboarding – New hires follow clear, proven steps.
