Hi @Shilpa Sikotra Taylor

without installing a plugin you have two options:

* A subtask with the workflow To-do/Done as @Dave Mathijs  mentioned before.
* In the description of the ticket  you can add a numbered list with a short description, date, status and owner of that "checklist" item. Once that the owner complete her checklist then she can edit the description and change the "status" of the item of the numbered list assigned to her.

The option 2 is less complex, you do not need extra workflow for subtask emulating a checklist.

Best regards
