In many cases they have. And generally speaking, I doubt they communicate with any central checklist system, likely because one didn't exist. Until now. And pretty much every department has its own checklist. Hell, I worked for a university and I'm pretty sure the automation processes I wrote for new account creation didn't absolve departmental IT from additional work for hires specific to their department.
The other fun thing is the process that constructed the current system. Something bad happens, and another annual training is added to the list. Over time, a lot of bad stuff happens. This leads to scenarios where military officers literally have more training requirements than hours, and cut all kinds of corners and lie about it: http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/careers/army/2015/02/19/-army-lying-distrust-ethics/23678429/ http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/careers/army/2015/02...
The problem isn't moving paperwork or tutorials online that's already happened. The problem is one arm of the administration imposing requirements on another without regard any sort of budgetary analysis.
