Lists of tasks to be performed are useful in the context of any task, from simple to very complex. Three industries are outlined in the book as examples – medical, building and aviation – for readers’ convenience. It is much more useful to perceive information that concerns specific business areas and specific tasks, don’t you agree? Why are checklists useful? According to the author, checklist allows you to structure your knowledge and prioritize tasks. Until you write down the tasks, they will be unclear. Until the task is unclear, it is unachieved.
