Job task analysis · Round 1 · Open

What does operations work actually involve?

The eight domains in the draft standard are currently unweighted, because weighting them from opinion would make the credential an opinion. This survey is how they get weighted instead.

A job task analysis is the instrument certification bodies use to establish what a role genuinely requires. Practitioners rate how critical each task is to their own work. Those ratings determine how much of the standard, and how much of the eventual assessment, each domain gets.

It takes ten to twelve minutes. Every response is published in aggregate, including the ones that contradict the draft. If a domain turns out not to matter, that finding gets published too.

Who should answer. People who currently hold operational responsibility, or have held it. If operations is something you buy rather than do, the qualification check will route you better.

Rating the tasks

For each task, rate how critical it is to your own role. Not how important it is in general, and not how well it is currently done.

0 Not part of my role · 1 Minor part · 2 Moderately important · 3 Very important · 4 Critical, failure here causes serious harm

Where the time goes

Roughly what share of your operational time goes to each domain? Approximate is fine. It does not need to total exactly one hundred.

Running total: 0%

What is missing

Staying involved

Would you consider serving on the standards committee?

Optional. Used only to send the results and, if you said yes above, to discuss the committee.

What happens to your answers. Ratings are aggregated to weight the standard and published as summary statistics. Individual responses are never published or shared, and are not disclosed to employers or third parties. Do not name your employer anywhere in the free-text fields.
