Which concept involves detailing the sequence of steps for a task's procedures?

• A. Task analysis
• B. SWOT analysis
• C. Task breakdown
• D. Subpoena

Answer: (C)

Detailing the sequence of steps for performing a task is about breaking the work into ordered actions. This is task breakdown: it maps out each step in the order they must be done, creating a clear workflow that can be taught, followed, and repeated consistently. In hospitality, a task breakdown helps staff perform tasks the same way every time, reducing variation and mistakes. While task analysis also involves steps, it’s a broader process that covers what skills, tools, and conditions are needed, not just the exact order. SWOT analysis looks at strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for planning, and a subpoena is a legal document unrelated to task procedures.
