GAP Analysis
Purposedifferent
When effort only needs to be classified roughly, it makes comparability more important than false precision. It helps sort work quickly into manageable sizes.When a goal needs to be connected to several possible paths, it shows chains of impact instead of feature lists. It connects business goal, behavior change, and measures.GAP Analysis compares the current state with a target picture and makes the distance manageable. It becomes useful when, ahead of new initiatives, it must become clear which capabilities, processes, or resources are missing.
