Finish Projects with Flair Using a Standard Checklist
When you finish a project, do you toss it over the fence with a spirited "good riddance," or do you diligently ensure it meets your quality bar before you send it on its way with a dusting of angel tears and lilac? Have you even defined a quality bar?
I'm here to humbly suggest you could improve your output with a standard checklist that helps you measure and ensure quality.
Web Worker Daily, in fact, recently ran a story on the value of standard project checklists.
In the article, we are reminded that checklists have some key benefits, including a smoother workflow, enhanced objectivity, and better consistency across the work you do.
What does a good checklist look like? Here are some examples:
- A web site accessibility checklist by Aaron Cannon
- A comprehensive content quality checklist from UXMatters
