If, God forbid, you or a loved one ever need surgery, and you have an opportunity to ask questions before the operation, ask the surgeon whether he or she uses the WHO Safe Surgery Checklist. If you don't think this sounds like a big deal one way or the other, please read this book.
My former law firm's IP department used a variety of checklists to great effect. If you're not using checklists in your job, consider reading this book to understand how nearly every industry and profession can benefit.
Fantastic real world account of how checklists have directly saved lives. Saved a lot of notes.
Made me rethink how I conduct my own work in order to codify it. Aviation has used it since the 1930's with far lower incident rates than software (that I work in), so why not use a checklist?
While a compelling plea for using a checklist and a good read, most of the learning seem to be superseded by Agile. If I had read this 5-10 years ago I think it would have been more powerful.
Quick read on the benefits of checklists
This is a good read which correlated to other topics such as the Power of Habit and Getting Things Done in its philosophy of keystone habits and making lists to keep reminders of what needs to be done. It also adds some design tips taken from the aviation community in making better checklists.
