Learn to get a critical, process-centric perspective on data

Process mining combines business process management with data science. Using process mining, you can analyse and visualise business processes based on event data recorded in event logs. For example, you could analyse how people use public transportation; verify whether a loan application is processed correctly by a bank; or predict when hardware parts are likely to fail. This online course will give you an introduction to this new and exciting field.

This course is designed for anyone with an interest in business process management (BPM), data science and/or process analytics. No specific prior knowledge is required, only a healthy interest is required.

We do however require you to have a computer with internet access ready on which you can install and use ProM. Please refer to www.promtools.org for more information regarding ProM.

Start your review of Introduction to Process Mining with ProM

  • This course is a very good introduction into the world of Process Mining. I think process owners and Business analysts can get a lot of knowledge from this course and add to their toolset the methods explained in here. I recommend the course to people used to apply analytical methods in business environments!
  • It really didn't grab my attention. ProM isn't that commonly used in my country, the presentation didn't engage me, and the exercises felt too irrelevant to what I was expecting.

    But that is only my view. Maybe your experiences, needs, perspectives are different...
