Q: While running the conference, you see that there are 200 more attendees. Which kind of metric do you use to capture this?

- Projection
- Milestone
- Changelog
Explanation: As a general rule, the increase in the number of attendees by two hundred would be recorded as a “Metric” under the heading of “Attendance” or “Registration.” A problem, a prediction, a milestone, or a changelog item are not directly applicable to this situation. Metrics are quantifiable indicators that assist in tracking and evaluating different elements of a project or event. In this particular instance, the growth in participants is a metric that connects to the success and popularity of the event.
