discovery and brainstorming | Quick Homework Help

I don’t understand this English question and need help to study.

Prior to beginning this discussion, review this week’s readings and Weekly Lecture.

There are four requirements for a complete and credible job analysis. The process begins with a position questionnaire, moves to a job analysis, which provides the information for the job description, and finally, the job description provides the criteria for the performance evaluation. Each task is specific and guided in both performance and outcome.

Discovery:

Research each of the four tasks. Explain the process of each task and its intended outcomes. Utilize at least two resources for each task and cite your sources.

Brainstorming:

Analyze each of the four tasks and compare the processes. Consider the following, and support your thoughts with your research: Are there overlaps of definitions? Is there any order in which the tasks could be completed? Can any task be avoided or abbreviated? How do the tasks work together? Where does the concept of needs assessment fit?
