    Job analysis is one of the most important activities of human resource management
    Companies that regularly conduct job analysis possess a much better knowledge of their strengths and limitations,and can take timely corrective action to improve any deficiencies in their skills and job behavior (Clifford, 1994).

Also, need to keep in mind if JD is wrong the whole objective will fall therefore, it should be accurate, understandable and achievable.
