Explanation
Benchmarking is the process of comparing your project's practices, processes, or performance metrics against those of similar projects or industry standards to identify best practices and areas for improvement. It is explicitly a comparative tool. A Pareto chart identifies the most significant causes of defects (80/20 rule). A histogram shows frequency distribution of data. A fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram identifies root causes of a problem. None of these involve comparison to external or comparable projects.
