Hi John--
Microsoft Outlook's forms provides a "do this" method that I see some
people using. But it's not a routed checklist.
In Microsoft Word, you can route the document (one recipient after
another, so revisions are layered, or to all recipients at one time,
which results in a lot of versions).
I've also used hard-copy routing checklists (one recipient after
another), as well as distributing a hard copy to each. Sometimes
routing one hard copy gives them a better chance to have a dialogue
about discrepancies or disagreements.
