How to Create a Checklist
Part 1: What is Checklist?
Checklists are a list of activities or criteria that are used to collect and verify data in a systematic manner. Each item is listed alongside a bullet point or checkbox, which is intended to make it easy for the reader to go through each point and make sure they have satisfied each one. Checklists can be used to ensure processes are performed uniformly and consistently.
Checklists can act as a reminder or guide for individuals working through processes with numerous steps. They can ensure that they have followed and implemented all of the steps listed. Checklists are best used for tasks that require routine inspections and checks. In addition, checklists can be used to gather data and identify anomalies, which makes it useful for data analysis.

Example 1: Holiday Checklist
Checklists include a list of all the items or requirements needed to fulfil a task, along with checkboxes on another column for one to keep track of whether those items are accounted for. In this example, a family might use this holiday checklist to ensure they have packed everything they need to have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Example 2: Holiday Checklist: A Race Day Gear Checklist
This checklist includes all of the items and tasks that need to be accomplished, but separates them into three different time periods: before the race, while you race, and after you race. This ensures that you know what you need during different parts of the day. This simplifies the entire process and makes it far less overwhelming than if you had to account for all three time periods at once.
