What is Process mining?
                     
Introduction
Process mining is a technique to analyze and track 
processes. In traditional business process 
management, it is done with process workshops and 
interviews, which results in an idealized picture of a 
process.

TYPES OF 
PROCESS 
MINING
4
Discovery
Process discovery uses event log data to create a 
process model without outside influence. Under this 
classification, no previous process models would exist 
to inform the development of a new process model. 
This type of process mining is the most widely adopted.

Conformance
Conformance checking confirms if the intended 
process model is reflected in practice. This type of 
process mining compares a process description to an 
existing process model based on its event log data, 
identifying any deviations from the intended model.

Enhancement
This type of process mining has also been referred to as 
extension, organizational mining, or performance mining. 
In this class of process mining, additional information is 
used to improve an existing process model. For example, 
the output of conformance checking can assist in 
identifying bottlenecks within a process model, allowing 
managers to optimize an existing process.

BENEFITS TO 
PROCESS 
MINING

Objective, fact-
based insights
It offers objective, fact-based insights, derived from 
actual data, to help you audit, analyze, and improve 
your existing business processes.

Faster, cheaper 
and more accurate
It is faster, cheaper and more accurate than the lengthy 
and often subjective process mapping workshops it 
replaces.

How does process 
mining work?
As people and software robots work with corporate IT 
systems, their activities are captured by those systems.
Process mining transforms this data into an event log—
and then creates visualizations of the end-to-end process 
along with insightful analyses.
