In this episode, we focus on using trend analysis to inform capacity planning decisions. We explain how to establish performance baselines that reflect normal operating conditions, and how to monitor for deviations that may indicate growth or potential issues. Forecasting methods are discussed, showing how historical data can be used to predict future resource needs with greater accuracy.We also cover the importance of correlating performance metrics with business events, such as marketing campaigns or new service launches, to refine forecasting models.
