A performance gap analysis systematically compares the existing project state or plan against newly introduced quality standards, identifying any shortfalls or areas requiring adjustment. Involving the client ensures clarity and alignment on these new requirements from the outset, which is crucial for successful delivery.

Agreeing on acceptance criteria is a subsequent step after understanding and integrating new quality standards, but a gap analysis is needed first to determine what those criteria should encompass based on the updated requirements.
