Make it useful

  1. Use it before the relevant task, not just after a problem.
  2. Work through the checks and record any actions in your own plan.
  3. Revisit it when your circumstances or the project change.

Educational guidance, not a promise of results. Use your own judgement and seek appropriate professional advice.
