Some of what you describe probably falls under the category of tasks that, if you are smart, you can just figure out (gap analysis, for example, whilst a wonderfully bullshit bingo compliant term, is fundamentally quite straightforward), and no training or mentoring is really required beyond a bit of practice and some copy and paste from previous examples (and perhaps a bit of bluffing, here and there). I'm moderately certain that most people just make this stuff up, and it usually works out okay. I think confidence is probably key.
Where your responsibilities start to stretch to, say, handling conflict between stakeholders, other stakeholders, and non-stakeholders, I suspect that you will either thrive on that sort of situation - and connive ways to benefit from it - or you will always hate it, and I'm not sure any amount of support or training will really help here.
Lastly, if you are doing HR-type duties, then you really do need training here. Sometimes common sense really does not apply here, only prior experience, and you should not be expected to handle these types of tasks without proper assistance and guidance from people qualified to do that.
