Skill gap analysis compares the capabilities required for a role or task with the capabilities currently held by a person or team. It turns performance evidence or career goals into focused development priorities. section 15.3.1 section 17.2.2
A practical analysis can:
- Map current skills into a team skills matrix and identify missing capabilities. section 15.3.1
- Compare personal goals with team and organizational objectives so development stays relevant to the role. section 15.3.1
- Convert identified gaps into learning resources, certifications, milestones, and practical projects. section 17.2.2
