Explanation

In a TOGAF Gap Analysis grid, if a building block exists in the Target Architecture but has no corresponding element in the Baseline Architecture, it represents a gap - specifically, a capability or function that does not yet exist in the current state and must therefore be newly developed or acquired (built or procured). Conversely, a building block present in the Baseline but absent from the Target represents something to be decommissioned. This matrix-based analysis is fundamental to deriving the work packages and roadmap needed for the architecture transition.
