I'm going with Trend Analysis, but I also can't help but imagine someone choosing Requirements Analysis and thinking, 'Yeah, that's it! Analyzing requirements is totally the same as analyzing historical resource data.'

Trend Analysis for sure. It's the only option that mentions using historical data, which is key for determining if resource requirements have been consistently underestimated.

Hah, I bet the answer is Trend Analysis. If this was a real exam, I'd be chuckling at the thought of someone choosing Value Scoring & Measurement. That's way off base!

I'm torn between Trend Analysis and Lessons Learned Analysis. Both seem relevant, but Trend Analysis seems to be the more specific technique for this scenario.

Trend Analysis sounds like the right answer here. It uses historical data to identify patterns and trends in resource utilization, which is exactly what the question is asking about.
