Checklists for Those who Hate Checklists
Date: January 22, 2020
Presented by Brian Palmquist

SESSION:

Everyone uses checklists, even those who hate them. That to-do list on your smartphone—that’s a checklist. That list of questions you’ve been scribbling on the pad on the corner of your work station, waiting for your boss to come by and answer—that’s a checklist. 

The most effective checklists have an elegantly simple structure that is designed to be reused over and over again. They are susceptible to capturing new knowledge and experience “on the fly,” the way much of our work seems to be managed these days. They are simple and logical to use whether you are a designer or builder.

This webinar will explain what professional information is better communicated via a checklist, and where the effort is just not worth it. You will learn the importance of checklists as internal managers of design and construction effort and also as records of work successfully completed—and why that's important.

You will learn and be given access to a simple four-part underlying structure for architectural checklists—a template usable for almost any design or construction process, project or product. You will learn the key differences between designer and builder checklists, and how they may be integrated.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the completion of this session, the participant/learner will be able to:

  • Analyze what professional content of yours is best managed by a checklist, and what is better managed in other ways;
  • Design a family of checklists to manage many architectural design and construction processes and products;
  • Execute your checklists so that they are an accurate reflection of work in progress as well as a record of work completed;
  • Refine your checklists to integrate new and emergent product and process knowledge.

Continuing education learning hours: 1 credit
