Abstract
The terms “trending,” “forecasting,” and “capacity planning” are sometimes used interchangeably, but the following definitions show the distinctions between them:
-
Trending is the analysis of data with the intention of identifying discernable patterns.
-
Forecasting is the projection of those identified patterns on business growth patterns to understand the impact on business processes.
-
Capacity planning is the response to forecasts that ensures the integrity of business processes.
