Gap analysis is a technique that contrasts the current and desired business views to analyze possible business changes. It identifies the gaps between the current state and the future state of the business and helps to prioritize the actions needed to close those gaps. Gap analysis can be used to assess the feasibility, scope, and value of a proposed change.
