The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande

Checklists provide the ability the be more disciplined and more creative. This sounds like a weird combination, but it’s true. Humans aren’t good at discipline. It isn’t natural so we have to make an effort if we want to improve. And it is essential to improve discipline because without it things can go very, very wrong. If a pilot forgets to flip a switch, lives are at stake. The same goes for a doctor who forgets to wash his hands. In business, money, and reputation is at stake.

If a development team forgets to run a test, they can release a product that malfunctions and loses company customers and profits. If discipline, through a checklist, is adhered to, things tend to go right. People don’t have to think about each and every step. The steps are spelled out. By taking these little yet essential pieces of information off of your mind, you are able to concentrate on other things, stretch your mind and be much more creative.
