Shaping the Process Mining Data in the Way You Need It

In the latest Process Mining Café, Rudi and I spoke with Scott Leslie from Evidant about analysis transformations.

The data that you find in information systems was not created for process mining purposes. So, often, you need to shape the data to make it suitable. Furthermore, different analysis questions may require particular views on the data. We look at two concrete examples to illustrate the steps in such transformations.

You can now watch the recording here if you missed the live broadcast or want to re-watch the café. Thanks again to Scott and all of you for joining us!

Here are the links that we mentioned during the session:

Process Mining Café 25: Analysis Transformations

Process Mining Café 25

One thing we discussed in our Process Mining Café on Data Preparation is that you work with the data that you have. The next Process Mining Café this Wednesday will be about the fact that you can further shape the data to look at the process as you want it. These specific types of data transformations are called analysis transformations: Data transformations that you make with the specific goal to better analyze your process.

Rudi and I are joined by Scott Leslie from Evidant, who will tell us about the analysis transformations that he frequently makes. Based on two concrete examples, we show how the modifications improve the analysis possibilities step by step. Come join us, too!

The café takes place tomorrow, Wednesday, 11 October, at 15:00 CEST! (Check your timezone here). As always, there is no registration required.
