A current state domain model is a visual representation of the existing business domain, including the entities, attributes, relationships, and rules that define the current situation. A current state domain model can help identify opportunities for improvement by highlighting the gaps, issues, or inefficiencies in the current domain. A current state domain model can also help validate the solution scope with business and technical stakeholders by providing a common understanding of the current domain and its boundaries. A current state domain model can also help assist stakeholders in understanding the current state by showing the structure and logic of the current domain in a simple and clear way. However, a current state domain model cannot help the business analyst create Pareto charts for process improvement, as Pareto charts are a different type of analysis tool that show the frequency and impact of different types of problems or causes. Pareto charts are not based on the current state domain model, but rather on the data collected from the current processes or activities. References: BABOK Guide v3, page 123; CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, page 181.

The confirm elicitation results process is a technique to ensure that the information gathered during an elicitation session is accurate, consistent, and understood by all stakeholders. It involves checking the elicited information for errors, omissions, conflicts, or ambiguity, and resolving any discrepancies or gaps. The purpose of this process is to validate that the stated requirements expressed by the stakeholders match the stakeholders’ understanding of the problem and the stakeholders’ needs, not the solution, the project sponsor, or the project scope1. References: Confirm Elicitation Results - iiba.org

Assessing capability gaps is a task of enterprise analysis that involves analyzing the current state of the organization and comparing it with the desired future state. The purpose of this task is to identify the new capabilities that the organization needs to acquire or enhance in order to meet the business need and achieve the organizational goals and objectives. These new capabilities can be related to processes, systems, people, or resources. Assessing capability gaps can help to determine the scope and feasibility of the solution, as well as the risks and benefits associated with it. References: BABOK Guide v3, page 25; CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, page 69.

The specify and model requirements process is the process of defining and describing the requirements in detail and representing them in different formats, such as textual, graphical, or mathematical. The primary purpose of this process is to analyze the functioning of an organization and to provide an insight into opportunities for improvement. By specifying and modeling the requirements, the business analyst can identify the gaps, issues, and needs of the organization and its stakeholders, and propose solutions that can address them. The specify and model requirements process also helps to communicate, validate, and verify the requirements with the stakeholders and ensure that they are aligned with the business goals and objectives. References:
