<p>Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today we are talking about how to choose a process mining tool, to close the loop to the "How to select an architecture tool" episode (link in the full show notes on <a href="//whatsyourbaseline.com/episode30" target="_blank">whatsyourbaseline.com/episode30</a>).</p> <p>In this episode of the podcast we are talking about:</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• What are process mining tools and how they are different than other tools (BI tools, modeling tools) and how can they work together</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Features to look at when choosing a process mining tool</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Process Explorer (listen to the details what tools today can and cannot do)</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Variant analysis</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Root/cause miner, ideally AI-driven</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Custom dashboards</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Calculate new fields</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Package (dashboards, transformations, calculations) and make it reusable</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Predictive analysis</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Trigger actions (as a quick fix for a process, not a redesign)</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Integration requirements</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Integration with source tools</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Integration with other mining tools (task mining)</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Integration with architecture tool</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Integration with process execution</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cost and other considerations</p> <p>The &nbsp;full show notes, including graphics, further links, credits, and transcript, are available at <a href="//whatsyourbaseline.com/e
