	NIOSH Mining: Task Analysis \| CDC/NIOSH
		Task analysis is one of the basic tools that an ergonomist has to design and evaluate systems.
		Task analysis is any process of assessing what a user does and why, step by step, and using this information to design a new system or analyze an existing system.
		After the results of the task analysis are incorporated into the system design, it is necessary to perform the analysis again to ensure that the changes do not produce an unforseen consequence.

	Task Analysis - ORIGINS OF TASK ANALYSIS, MARKETPLACE TRENDS, DEFINING DATA AND ACTIVITY FLOW
		The definition of task analysis varies depending on the purpose for it and the context in which it is performed.
		Task analysis is a way of assessing what people, machines, or a combination thereof do and why they do it.

		Typically, they also include to whom the position reports, specifications such as the qualifications needed by the person in the job, salary range for the position, etc. task analysis Job descriptions are usually developed by conducting a job analysis, which includes examining the tasks and sequences of tasks necessary to perform the job.
		task analysis Job descriptions are lists of the general tasks, or functions, and responsibilities of a position.

	The Task Analysis Grid \| toddwarfel.com
		The Task Analysis Grid offers an interesting juxtaposition between two integral components of product development which I feel are mostly under-served: understanding the user and communicating design rationale for one, and (as you mentioned) outlining a product plan that doesn’t take 60 pages to explain, at the expense of readibility and comprehension.
		I think the task analysis grid could be used in the same way if the program used to create it was easy to change on the fly.
		A task analysis grid i believe is based on the work of Indie Young (co-founder of Adaptive Path) who uses a mental model and content model to articulate achieving user needs.

	Future Task Analysis (Signal vs. Noise)
		Some of the different parts of a FTA are FT Scenarios, Function Allocation Table (or diagram), potentially workflow diagrams, and the main task analysis.
		The FAT is a work breakdown of user actions and system responses and should cover all tasks (or at least the main ones), as well as be user-centric.
		Towards the goal of minimizing documentation, I refer back to problems found in task analysis that can be fixed through a properly designed new system.

	Conduct Task Analysis-Analyze \| Usability.gov
		Task analysis means learning about your users' goals—what they want to do at your Web site-and your users' ways of working.
		Task analysis can also mean figuring out what more specific tasks users must do to meet those goals and what steps they must take to accomplish those tasks.
		When you have learned about your users and done task analysis, you are ready to Develop Personas.
