Condition Fields

Title

The Title or text of the condition. Conditions are used in the task analysis for tasks, subtasks, and steps (aka skills) to state the job conditions that significantly influence job performance. Those significant on-the-job conditions provide the basis for determining the necessary training conditions.

Do not add conditions related to the tools and equipment used to perform the skill, those are captured using the Resources link as Tools/Equipment, Consumables, or Software. Likewise, don't include job aids or manuals, those should be captured under Resources > Publications or IETMs.

Do add conditions that state:

the type and amount of supervision and help normally available on the job, including whether the skill is performed as part of a team.

any special physical demands of the skill, whether done in crowded conditions, or that need unusual or prolonged positions or exertions.

any environmental conditions that influence completion of the skill, like tropical, arctic, or desert environments.

the locations where the skill is performed, especially where this differs from the 'normal' location for the job, e.g., outdoors in all weather conditions, in total darkness, in a remote location.

the urgency of the skill, e.g., in an emergency.
