TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner — Question 21

Which of the following best describes the purpose of the Gap Analysis technique?

Answer options

• A. To allocate resources for architecture projects
• B. To govern the architecture throughout its implementation process
• C. To identify items omitted from the Target Architecture
• D. To develop a set of general rules and guidelines for the architecture

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, accurately reflects that Gap Analysis is used to identify components that should be included in the Target Architecture but are currently absent. Options A and B focus on resource allocation and governance, which do not align with the analysis of gaps, while option D discusses rule creation, which is not the main goal of Gap Analysis.
