This was an amazing outline of how to conduct a gap analysis! I especially like how you included techniques like value stream mapping and SWOT analysis. It definitely completes the approach. One question, if stakeholders are having difficulty defining an ideal future state, do you have any go-to tactics other than the value stream map to assist them look beyond their existing constraints? I look forward to your response. Thank you!

What if the project is completely new and there is no current state...as it never existed..! So we can’t do gap analysis...can we use competitors. For comparison..? Also some stakeholders are very confusing or keep changing their minds. How to approach such stakeholders

In an interview I was asked how do you do gap analysis?
They never specified if it was a new project or its about enhancing an existing one
In my experience i had to analyze the gap between my existing product with a similar product in market, which the business had to plan to merge with, I answered that I would
1. analyse and compare the features in both products
2. I would check what's better in my product and what we can pick from their product
3. I'll analyze the market value
4. I'll check what better feature we can develop even after merging
I am still not sure if this answer was good. But I can't searching here for an answer and found your video. This helped.

But for my curiosity, could you please tell if what I answered is appropriate? Or if you can help me with a better answer
