ASSIGNMENT:  Task Analysis

In Chapter 15 there are three approaches discussed to task analysis.
Task decomposition; Knowledge; Entity-relationship
Of course, to do your project, you will be dealing with tasks.

Part I: (20%)
RANK the three approaches in order of their applicability to your project, most applicable to
least applicable. Explain the applicability in at most one paragraph each.
A-Task decomposition (15.3)
Break your project down into tasks
Use your decomposition to gain insights (and find errors) in your design
B-Knowledge based (15.4)
List objects
Classify them by taxonomy
Use your classification to gain insights (and find errors) in your design
C-Entity-relationship (15.5)
List objects, actions, events, relationships
Use your entities and relationships to gain insights (and find errors) in your design
Consider the project whose evaluation plan you reviewed.
RANK the three approaches in order of their applicability to that project, most applicable to least
applicable. Explain the applicability in at most one paragraph each.

Part II: (50%; 25% each)
For Two of the three approaches (A, B, C) do a draft analysis for your project.
If your draft analysis is longer than one page, prepare a one-page summary/abstract.
A-Most Applicable
B-Second Most Applicable

Part III: (20%)
For the THIRD approach, EITHER:
A-Explain the value to the project whose evaluation plan you reviewed of that analysis.
B-Explain what kind of projects the third analysis would be MOST valuable for.
C-Explain why that third analysis is not valuable.

Part IV: (10%)
After having done the analysis above, (choose one)
A-explain what benefits you received for your project by doing task analysis
B-explain what benefits you expect to receive in general by doing task analysis
C-Explain why task analysis is not a beneficial idea.
