Phase 4: AssessmentEvaluate the Job Analysis project
Continuous improvement: learn from both successes & mistakes to continuously get better Did the project finish on-time and under-budget?
If not, what went wrong? What would you do differently?
Did you collect the correct information? What additional information would you collect if you
did the project over? What information would you not collect?
Are the Job Descriptions being used as intended? If not, what’s missing to make them useful?

New Views of Job AnalysisFuture-Oriented Strategic Job Analysis
Identify the tasks, knowledge, skills, & abilities that will be needed to perform a job in the future Instead of describing how a job is today, describe how it
will be in the future Typically uses experts to help make predictions of the
future
Competency ModelingIdentify the observable performance dimensions
that differentiate effective from ineffective employees Define the job’s critical success factors, which should be
tied to the organization’s objectives and strategy20
