Why Check-Lists are required?

Many a times you see that you are told to Self-Check your work with a Check-List, before sending it to client.

The more emphasis is given to use the Check-List, if you are new to doing that work. Sometimes you wonder why only I am supposed to do that and why not that experienced guy. You feel that some kind of partiality is being done with you. But it is not! Believe me! It is not.

Let me explain you with an example:

When somebody just start to drive a car after training, in initial few days mostly he forgets to do below things:

• To unlock the hand break before accelerating he car and lock the hand back after parking in a sloppy area.
• To fasten the seat belt.

But the same person after few months do not even needs to think about these things, it is done by him unknowingly.

So, in the initial few days if he has a Checklist with him mentioning the above tasks, which he has to refer after sitting in the car, and needs to tick after doing each task, he would not miss those tasks. And after few months he will not require that Check-List.

The same applies when you do any new work. Hope it is understood!
