How? Even if you decide you need everyone to look at it, letting everyone check it off asynchronously is more respectful of people's time and concentration. Maybe occasionally there's a big difference in people's assessment and you need to have a synchronous discussion, but there's no need to pessimize the common case for the sake of the rare case.

What's "properly"? Doing your planning in a more difficult, time-consuming way might feel virtuous, but it's not actually beneficial.
