Overview
Based on "The Checklist Manifesto" by Atul Gawande and "Accelerate" by Forsgren, Humble & Kim.
Gawande's insight: checklists don't exist because people are stupid - they exist because complex, high-pressure situations cause smart people to skip steps they know matter. A pre-deployment checklist is not bureaucracy; it's the discipline that separates teams with 15% change failure rates from teams with 60%.
Accelerate's finding: high-performing teams deploy more frequently AND have lower failure rates. The checklist is what enables speed without sacrificing safety.
