Work Analysis
It is an essential step in any project, and the basis for measuring the work accurately.
This is the second and very important step in any project through which accurate measurement of work is possible. After the technical analysis of the project requirements, the basic idea about the work becomes clear. The next step is to measure the work properly. Accurate measurement of work is possible only through proper analysis of work. Work analysis has many aspects and these aspects vary from project to project.

Here is a sample requirement, the kind of brief a project usually starts with.
A travel blog website should be created where the author can write all their travel stories in detail and publish pictures and videos. Those who want to comment on various experiences can send their comments through a form.
What the analysis reveals
The information below may be obtained by analyzing the requirement mentioned above.
The website will have 5 pages: Home, About Us, Tour Blog List, Tour Blog Details and Contact Us.
The website should be made through a CMS so that the website owner can publish their own content.
The website should have the facility to upload images and videos.
Each blog will have a separate link and options to share it across different social media.

The above example is a type of work analysis. Such analysis is very important to do before any work. If any of the analysis mentioned in the example is omitted then the work will not be completed as per the requirement. Different types of work are analyzed in different ways.
