FOREWORD

The table-top process is a method of job analysis in which a team of subject-matter

experts--job incumbents, engineers, supervisors, and other experts as applicable--and

instructional technologists meets to identify the tasks performed in a specified job position.

The task list serves as the basis for determining the content that should be included in the

training program.

To coordinate the table top job analysis (TTJA) seminar, someone at the facility must be

designated as the "Coordinator," who is responsible for making the necessary pre-seminar

arrangements. This Coordinator Guide is for use by the facility-designated Coordinator.

It will help the Coordinator organize a successful TTJA seminar by providing an overview of

TTJA and step-by-step directions and easy-to-use checklists and examples needed to fulfill all

Coordinator responsibilities.

The 3-day TTJA seminar helps the facility develop a valid task list and select tasks for

training, as reflected in the seminar's terminal objective:

"Using the Table-Top Job Analysis process, participants will DEVELOP a task list

and SELECT tasks for training that meet the intent of DOE Orders 5480.18A

and/or 5480.20."
