They can be made even more useful by including links on them that share where to find any detailed instructions, manuals, templates or boilerplate documents relevant to completing that action. Similar links can also be added to capture copies of any outputs from the action. If you're diligent about creating these links, the checklist becomes an excellent repository and tracking tool for what actually happened on each process iteration, without requiring any additional (ie redundant) audit documentation.
