Abstract
This paper sets out to summarize the current status of task analysis. There is a lack of consensus over terminology. Approaches have emerged from different theoretical and methodological sources and have been developed in different applications contexts. This has lead to a great variety of approaches, which have been used at different stages of analysis and have been given various names. Strategies for improving this situation are suggested, as are criteria for assessing approaches. The need to progress towards a well-established methodology is evident, but it is seen as a long-term goal.Keywords
