Process mining project
Three iterative (!) steps
Collect data (from files and databases)
Structure data (case id, activity, timestamp)
Use miners (e.g., Fuzzy Miner, Heuristics Miner)
Main drawbacks are about finding and preparing the (right) data
Main benefits are objectivity, completeness and speed (once data is present)
