Embracing Checklists as a Tool for Improving Human Reliability
Chris Stankaitis, The Pythian Group
A pilot cannot fly a plane, and a surgeon cannot cut into a person without first going through a checklist. These are some of the most well-educated and highly-skilled people in the world and they have embraced the value of checklists as a tool that can dramatically reduce human error. This talk will focus on the value and the (at time) controversy of checklist adoption in IT.
