Welcome back to a new year and Season 8 of the What’s Your Baseline Podcast, and we are starting with an episode that closes the loop with two other episodes (links below): “Process Mining Analysis” and “Lean and Process Mining”. Today we are talking about Process Analysis in general, and we are thinking of the new business analyst especially, who doesn’t know where to start or does not have a Process Mining tool at his/her disposal.
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:
- The situation as a new analyst, not knowing what to do
- The problem — lack of visibility, followed by process analysis and improvement in process execution
- The positioning of analysis in the Process/Solution Lifecycle
- The different existing approaches to Process Analysis
- Advanced tool features, such as Process Mining or Simulation
