Why use checklists on tasks
A checklist on a task is a list of specific items that need to be completed as part of a task or project. The checklist serves as a handy tool to break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps, making it easier for individuals or teams to track progress and ensure that nothing is overlooked. Each item on the checklist represents a specific action or requirement that needs to be completed before the task can be considered finished.
