Why each option
To align resource management with the IT strategic plan, the initial step is to perform a gap analysis to identify discrepancies between current and required resources.
Developing a RACI chart is a detailed step for clarifying roles after understanding the resource requirements and gaps.
Assigning roles and responsibilities is a step that follows the identification of required roles and skills through a gap analysis.
Performing a gap analysis is the foundational first step to understand the current state of resources versus the required resources to achieve the IT strategic plan, identifying what is missing or in excess.
Identifying outsourcing opportunities is a potential solution to address resource gaps, not the initial analysis step itself.
