Keep the checklist short enough to use
A governance checklist that is too long will not survive the first real meeting.
The starter version should fit on one page and point to the right owner for each decision.
- Who owns approval?
- What training is required?
- What gets documented?
- What gets reviewed next?
Build from the current process
The goal is not to invent a new bureaucracy.
It is to make the current process safer, faster, and easier to repeat.
