The primary benefit or output derived from setting targeted capability levels and performing a capability-level gap analysis for selected processes is the identification of process improvement opportunities. This analysis helps to pinpoint specific areas where processes can be enhanced to achieve the desired capability levels.

Setting targeted capability levels and conducting a capability-level gap analysis allows an enterprise to:

Identify gaps between current and desired process capabilities.

Highlight areas where processes are underperforming.

Prioritize improvement initiatives to close these gaps.
