Project Artifact: Gap Analysis Report

Document Reference: PMO-01.04

This document provides a comprehensive, professional reference to understand the purpose and effective usage of the Gap Analysis Report in alignment with the Tasleemat framework.


1. What?

A formal Tasleemat-aligned project artifact known as the Gap Analysis Report. A formal pre-project and value delivery document systematically comparing an organization's Current State (As-Is) with its Desired Target State (To-Be) to define capability discrepancies, risks, and bridge actions.


2. Why?

Because without a structured gap analysis report, decisions risk ambiguity and lack objective backing.


3. When?

This artifact is prepared during project lifecycle activities and refreshed as required.


4. Who?

Responsibilities: Prepared by the designated project lead and approved by key governance authorities.


Tailoring Tips

  • Scale the depth of analysis to match project complexity and risk.
  • Ensure all key stakeholders are aligned before final sign-off.

Alignment & Dependencies

1. Pre-requisites & Inputs (Upstream Dependencies)

  • Mandatory:
    • Enterprise Strategic Plan
  • Optional / Contextual:
    • Project Charter (PMO-03.01)

2. Downstream Dependents

  • Mandatory:
    • Project Governance and Reporting Records

5. How?

Fill out each section carefully following the specific field guidance provided below:

Analysis Context

  • Analysis Objective and Scope: The strategic purpose and organizational business domain boundaries evaluated by this gap analysis.
  • Current State Summary: Executive summary of the baseline operating model, legacy systems, and existing operational capabilities.
  • Desired Target State: The envisioned future operating state, target business architecture, and required capability levels.

Gap Evaluation Matrix

  • Functional and Process Gaps: Specific discrepancies identified between current operational workflows and target process efficiency standards.
  • Technical and Systems Gaps: Deficiencies in current software infrastructure, data architecture, security tooling, and integration capabilities.
  • People and Competency Gaps: Human capital deficiencies, staffing shortages, and technical skill gaps required to sustain the target state.
  • Risk and Business Impact: The quantified operational risk, revenue exposure, and strategic impact of leaving identified gaps unaddressed.

Remediation Strategy

  • Closure Initiative Description: The specific project, enhancement sprint, or restructuring action designed to bridge the capability gap.
  • Priority and Execution Feasibility: The implementation urgency (Urgent/High/Medium/Low) and technical/financial execution feasibility rating.
  • Assigned Owner and Target Date: The accountable business lead and committed milestone target date for closing the capability gap.
