Create and manage checklist | Zoho Sprints Help

Create and manage checklist

Preparing a to-do list will help you ensure you complete everything that the work item entails on time. A checklist serves as a rudimentary item plan that you define right before you start work on an item.


Benefits of checklist

  1. Analyze the work item's progress effectively
  2. Ensure all aspects of the work item are covered
  3. Add multiple checklists
  4. Group similar sets of to-do-lists
  5. Complete or reopen them anytime

Example

Let's assume you are a marketing team and you are about to release a new webpage on your product website. Publishing a webpage comes with a few considerations that need to be handled. You can create a checklist for this item.

Checklist Name - Prerequisites for webpage release
  1. Update latest content in the backend content management tool
  2. Cross check with the UI team for design approval
  3. Check for CTAs (Call to actions)
  4. Link to social media sites
  5. SEO optimization
  6. Include blog, help center, support links to the website
  7. Upload videos and images to relevant feature descriptions
  8. Check whether the website work across browsers
  9. Include search bar
  10. Copy rights
  11. Publish
After all the prerequisites are fulfilled, you are ready to publish your webpage.

Difference between checklists and subitems

Subitems are secondary entities that are treated as work items. They require time and effort on their own. However, a checklist is just a to-do list that you use to build the work item at hand. It's not treated as an individual work item that you require to complete in order to move the parent item to a closed status.
