This is the last article in our series about how to set up your Process Mining project. In the first three articles we discussed the overall approach, roles, and the first step of developing a Process Mining strategy. Then we discussed the extraction of event logs and the creation of a data model, and in…
This is article 3 of our series how to do a Process Mining project. In the previous articles we took a look at the Process Mining strategy, the extraction of system logs, and the creation of a data model. In this article, we discuss the next two steps: the creation of a reference model for…
In the previous article, we have introduced you to the overall approach to a Process Mining project and the roles involved. We also took a closer look at the first step — defining your Process Mining strategy. In this article, we are looking at steps 2 and 3 of the process: extracting system logs and…
Process Mining is more than a technology or a single process analysis approach. It is an assembly of analysis methods that have been done in the past, but are now based on data (in the form of an event log from runtime systems) and supported by a tool that does the process-oriented calculations for you….
By Roland Woldt Over the past few years, there’s been a lot of hype about process mining. Businesses across the globe are adopting mining tools to take advantage of data-driven insights that allow them to streamline their business operations. They do this to save time and reduce costs, helping companies achieve strategic goals and maintain…
As a follow-up to the Process Simulation article from a few days ago, here are a couple of recordings of how you can do simulation in Software AG’s ARIS tool. Our preferred co-host of the What’s Your Baseline Podcast, J-M Erlendson, has created them as part of his day job. Grab some popcorn, have a…
A few weeks ago we started to have a look at process analysis methods and discussed what a “base analysis” package for your organization could look like. In this article we will have a look at an advanced analysis technique – Process Simulation. Simulation is typically used in the same phases of the solution lifecycle…
Process mining is the “hot” topic in our industry these days, and there are a sizable number of process mining tool vendors available in this space. However, the technology is still at the beginning of the hype curve and not a lot of organizations have established process mining as a standard tool in their process…
This is the first of a few articles about process analysis, and covers the “base” analysis of a process without dedicated tools (besides your architecture tool), or additional data collection, for example, for simulation or process mining. Those “advanced” analysis methods will be covered in the future. It does not aim to be a complete…
After having a look at the functional business process view, we will have a look at a second process view in this article: the End-to-End (E2E) process view, which a lot of people are familiar with because this is how they experience their daily work. We will also have a look at the risk viewpoint,…
Setting up a structure for your architecture can be challenging when you want to include the demands of all stakeholders and cover all use cases. For some architectural views it is easy – applications typically come in “flat” and might just have one level below in your meta model (for components and other viewpoints), or…
As mentioned in part 1 of this series, a model import as part of the implementation of an architecture tool can be a crucial success factor to get a new program off the ground and act as an accelerator for future projects. We discussed the first two phases (preparation and initial import) and will have…
