When discovering the potential solution options for addressing business needs, what is a the purpose of doing a gap analysis?

Question

Options

• AA way to understand the difference between the current situation and a future state vision
• BA way to understand the difference between customer requirements and a specific technology
• CA way to determine what level of additional resources can accomplish development and
• DA way to understand the difference between performance requirements and the standard or

• A
  93% (26)
• B
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because a gap analysis is fundamentally a structured comparison between where you are now (current state) and where you want to be (future/desired state), helping teams identify what needs to change to meet business needs.

Option B is wrong because gap analysis is not technology-specific - it's a strategic tool applied broadly to business processes, capabilities, or performance, not a comparison between customer requirements and a particular technology solution.

Option C is wrong because determining resource levels for development is resource planning or capacity analysis, a separate activity from gap analysis.

Option D is wrong (and appears truncated), but comparing performance requirements to a standard describes benchmarking or performance gap analysis in a narrow technical sense - not the general purpose of gap analysis in a business needs context.

Memory tip: Think of "gap" literally - it's the space between two points: current state and future state. If an answer doesn't describe two states with a space between them, it's not describing gap analysis.
