"Project success is not about technology choices; It is much more about development and management teams doing the right things for you."
So says Justin Meyer, web developer who presented for Chicago JavaScript meetup, a monthly gathering of developers hosted by Enova and Bitovi in the Chicago Loop. The attached video is from a November 2014 meetup.
Justin's 15 minute presentation focuses on the value of a checklist to JavaScript debugging and web development overall. Justin notes the history of checklist. I liked that Justin noted a book I reviewed for Small Business Trends, called The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande. The book explains how a doctor established a medical checklist based from flight check techniques learned from the World War II era.
The reason the book and Justin highlights a checklist is because of the need to manage process. As was pointed out in the The Checklist Manifesto - “Knowledge has both saved us and burdened us” - so it has become easier to overlook details. Given the advancement of JavaScript over time, the need for a checklist has become clear.
