## Overview

Gap analysis systematically compares current capabilities with desired future state, revealing what needs to change and what investments are required.

## When to Use

- Strategic planning and goal setting
- Technology modernization assessment
- Process improvement initiatives
- Skills and training planning
- System evaluation and selection
- Organizational change planning
- Capability building programs

## Quick Start

Minimal working example:

```python
# Systematic gap identification

class GapAnalysis:
    GAP_CATEGORIES = {
        'Business Capability': 'Functions organization can perform',
        'Process': 'How work gets done',
        'Technology': 'Tools and systems available',
        'Skills': 'Knowledge and expertise',
        'Data': 'Information available',
        'People/Culture': 'Team composition and mindset',
        'Organization': 'Structure and roles',
        'Metrics': 'Ability to measure performance'
    }

    def identify_gaps(self, current_state, future_state):
        """Compare current vs desired and find gaps"""
        gaps = []

        for capability in future_state['capabilities']:
            current_capability = self.find_capability(
                capability['name'],
                current_state['capabilities']
            )

            if current_capability is None:
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

- Document gap analysis findings
- Review and update analysis quarterly
- Link gaps to business strategy
- Communicate findings transparently

### ❌ DON'T

- Skip current state assessment
- Create vague future state
- Identify gaps without solutions
- Ignore implementation effort
- Plan all gaps in parallel
- Forget about dependencies
- Ignore resource constraints
- Hide difficult findings
- Plan for 100% effort allocation
- Forget about change management
