#130: To Checklist or not to Checklist

This episode, I want to take a look at Checklists - when to use and when not to.

Much of this episode is inspired by the Sight Reliability Engineering practices that come out of Google.

Why you might be interested in this episode

  • The value of a checklist
  • Situations where it is appropriate
  • And situations where it isn't

CORRECTION: During the episode I refer to "The Manifest Checklist" - this should have been "The Checklist Manifesto: How To Get Things Right" by Atul Gawande
