Review Task Statements
Critique the action verb. Is it the most accurate descriptor of what
the worker actually does?
Review the object. Does it represent the thing or person acted
upon by the worker?
Check the modifiers or qualifiers, if any. Are the correct ones used?
Are others needed? Have unnecessary modifiers, such as
"effectively" and "efficiently," been eliminated?
Constantly challenge the team to think of the most accurate and descriptive
terms. It is important to insist on precision. Remind team members that a
task statement should contain as few words as possible (usually a maximum
Use as few words as
of eight) and still be completely descriptive. Often, two or three words are
possible
sufficient.
Once the team feels comfortable with their task list, have them compare
their task list with the one you developed when reviewing the available job
information prior to the seminar. Also have them compare their list with

any other task lists for similar jobs at other facilities. The purpose is to
have the team determine whether they have omitted any tasks. If so, add
them to their list.
Co-Facilitator: In the "cover letter" (refer to Segment 3, Appendix B, for
example) that will precede the typed task list, document which (if any) task
lists were used for verification analysis.

After all tasks have been identified, re-examine the duty areas. Each duty
area should contain at least six specific task statements. If the group can
specify only two or three tasks, the duty area should probably be combined
with another related area. Conversely, if a particular duty area results in a
large number of tasks (e.g., more than twenty), there may be justification
for dividing that large area into two duty areas.
