Multiple choice technology architecture

The key purpose of the gap analysis is to _____

  1. establish quality parameters for the architecture

  2. identify potential missing or overlapping functions

  3. simplify the architecture by merging duplicate functions

  4. identify building blocks to be purchased

  5. refine the specification of new building blocks to be developed

B Correct answer
Explanation

Gap analysis identifies missing capabilities (gaps) and overlapping/redundant functions between current and target states. This is a core purpose in architecture development. Option A refers to quality criteria, not gap identification. Option C is about optimization after gaps are found. Option D and E relate to solution selection and specification, not gap identification itself.
