Selected Answer: C
Schedule Analysis: Schedule analysis focuses on evaluating the project schedule and comparing it to the actual progress of the project. It involves analyzing the planned activities, their sequence, duration, and dependencies, and comparing them to the actual progress achieved. The purpose of schedule analysis is to identify any variances or deviations from the planned schedule and assess the impact on the project timeline. Trend Analysis: Trend analysis, on the other hand, focuses on examining project performance data over time to identify patterns, trends, or tendencies. It involves analyzing historical data and project metrics to identify recurring patterns or trends in various aspects of the project, such as cost, schedule, quality, or team performance. Trend analysis helps project managers understand the project's overall direction and make predictions about future performance.
