Is the Checklist Mightier than the Model?

March 15th, 2010 by Scott Francis

In honor of SXSW-interactive and the prevalence of twitter here, I’ll give my brief take:

Is the Checklist Mightier than the Model?
In a word: No.

Longer version:

Checklists are useful.  Just because we have lots of new-fangled tech and old tech like MS Project or Rally or what-have-you, doesn’t mean a checklist won’t help you get through your day or get things done.  But it is a complement not a replacement, and it isn’t a competition at all.
