Trend Analysis allows you to analyze your process performance and see how it compares against other years, months, weeks, or days. This is useful for planning effectively. For example, you may need to make more resources available for the summer months if there is a trend of a spike in form submissions during that period. If you have made process changes to address bottlenecks, Trend Analysis lets you see whether those changes are having the desired impact. Trend Analysis bar chart
