Process Mining Café 37 — Explorative Analysis

When you import your data set, you first have to look around and get an overview about your process. Where does it start and where does it end? Can you recognize the expected process? Is there a lot or little variation? Do you see rework or other unexpected patterns? This initial explorative analysis is more of an art than a science. To help you build up your experience, Rudi and Anne take you on a journey to discover the loan application process of the BPI 2016 data set. We show you step by step how you explore the process, make sure you understand it, and get the data ready for your analysis.
