Completing the Task List

DOE-HDBK-1076-94

4.4 Completing the Task List. It is important that the format that is chosen for the

task list be professional looking and user friendly. The physical layout and appearance of

the format adopted can do much to create a favorable impression for those who use the

task list. Once the design is chosen, it should be used for all of the facility's table top

analysis.

Once the task list with the tasks selected for training is printed, the team members

should review the tasks and their selections one last time. When the review is complete

the team should document their participation in the process approval of the task list. In

addition to the team members, an empowered member of the instructional staff should

also review and approve of the task list.

The final review should be made by facility management. A cognizant manager should

approve the list showing management buy-in to the process and demonstrating their

commitment.

These reviews close out this job analysis process, with the result being a self-validated

task list with tasks selected for training. With proper coordination between management,

the recorder, the instructional staff, and the team, the review and approval process can be

an integral part of the session.

4.5 Follow-up Activities. One of the most important follow-up activities is to

determine training program content. The task list will facilitate this activity. A table top

team can be used in order to identify:

the steps/activities involved

the related knowledge required

the attitudes involved

the performance standards expected

the tools and materials needed

the entry-level criteria

and the safety concerns.
