A checklist is never truly "complete" - treat it as a living document with a built-in review step that asks "what did we miss?" after each use.

I did this at a previous job for running a complicated regression test (that couldn't be fully automated for reasons). I initially did this for myself as the regression test wasn't run that often. I also made sure that anyone new to the department would have to run the regression test and report/update with any missing steps.
"Update checklist if needed" should be the last thing on every checklist!
