This year’s Process Mining Camp on 13 & 14 June is made for experts. But that does not mean that those of you who are new to process mining should not attend.
In fact, as beginners we learn best when we see, first-hand, more advanced practitioners at work. We all learn the fastest by observing experts at the top of their game. Nevertheless, it can be useful for you to have a solid grip on the basics, so that you are better able to follow the discussions.
This is why, this year, we offer an optional boot camp training just before camp for those of you who are new to process mining. When you sign up for camp, choose the Process Mining Camp + Boot Camp ticket (the second ticket on the list) to reserve your seat for this pre-training.
The boot camp is going to cover a big part of the lessons from our regular trainings. In this crash course, we will teach you the most important process mining concepts. By immediately immersing yourself in the real-life use cases at camp, you will solidify your understanding and bring it to life. The boot camp also gets you ready to start practicing, and to participate in the workshops on the second day of camp.
Boot Camp program
The boot camp consists of two sessions. The first session takes place online one week before camp, on 6 June. The precise time will be determined based on the availability and the time zones of the participants. Afterward, you will get a homework exercise to work on between the first and the second session. Then, on Thursday morning, 13 June, just before camp starts, the second session takes place in person at the campsite.
You will learn:
-
Introduction and positioning: We will keep the introduction short and focus on how process mining fits into existing process improvement methodologies. We will also look at how process mining differs from other methods and what it is not, so you can clearly place it in your head.
-
Guided hands-on session: Then, we will dive into the first hands-on session. Together, we will go through a typical process mining scenario, step by step. You will learn how to import data and perform your first process mining analysis.
-
Simplification strategies for complex processes: One of the first challenges you will encounter in your process mining projects is that the discovered process maps can become very complicated. Based on concrete examples, you will learn ten strategies for dealing with this complexity.
-
Hands-on exercises: You will start practicing with two exercises, where you will work on real data sets by yourself. We will discuss your solutions in the group and talk about the different use cases for process mining.
During the boot camp, you will learn everything to become prepared for camp, even if you are still a greenhorn. With this foundation, you will be able to step over some of the more obvious challenges, so that you can have a deeper discussion and challenge others.
We recommend the boot camp to newcomers as it allows you to focus more on what is relevant for you instead of just listening in. You will have a broader perspective and more effectively place what you hear at camp in the right context.
You will also receive a Disco training license for 60 days, so that you can hit the ground running at the boot camp and continue to learn at your own pace.
Furthermore, you will join a follow-up meeting online with the same training group after 1-2 months to discuss the first results. Afterwards, we stay in contact and keep supporting you on your process mining journey.
The only catch is that we have a very limited number of seats available for the boot camp. → Sign up now, and make sure you don’t miss this opportunity!
Certificate of attendance
Both boot campers and regular campers will receive a certificate of attendance to document their education activities.
We have also created an overview of the educational and training components at this year’s camp, to help you better plan and justify attending camp. Do you still need to request permission to come to camp this year? Send us an email at camp@fluxicon.com, and we will send you some information on how you can fit process mining camp into your own training program and budget.
Sign up for a process mining practice that you can get nowhere else. If you buy your ticket before midnight this Friday, 19 April, you help us plan, and you can still benefit from the morning person rate before prices go up.
We can’t wait to see you all at camp!
