Checklists
Operational checklists for the recurring jobs every EA owns.
In practice
How teams usually use Checklists templates
A good checklist is not busywork. It is a way to make recurring operational jobs reliable, especially when timing is tight or several people are involved.
- Run recurring operational tasks the same way every time.
- Reduce single-point-of-failure risk for essential support work.
- Train newer team members on the order and rhythm of repeatable tasks.
Common ways this work goes wrong
- Watch for this. Turning the checklist into a dumping ground with no sense of priority.
- Watch for this. Keeping task names so vague that nobody can tell what “done” means.
- Watch for this. Failing to revise the list after things go wrong in real life.
