Purposedifferent | GAP Analysis compares the current state with a target picture and makes the distance manageable.

It connects the business view and organizational boundary into a readable whole. | The Architecture Communication Canvas plans architecture communication so the right people receive the right message. The method turns technical complexity into deliberate communication design. |
