| Task analysis (TA) is the term
applied to any process that identifies and
examines tasks performed by humans as they
interact with systems. This invaluable book
comprehensively documents the application of task
analytical techniques and organizes them into a
practical user guide. It enables organizations to
select the most appropriate and cost-effective
technique to meet their particular needs and uses
real case studies to demonstrate the impact task
analysis has in industrial applications. A Guide
to Task Analysis shows how to target TA resources
optimally over the life cycle of a project, from
conceptual design through to systems operation,
noting the role of TA in maximizing staff
potential; implementing new technologies; and
translating similar tasks across different task
environments. Barry
