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.
