Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today we are talking about how to choose a process mining tool, to close the loop to the "How to select an architecture tool" episode (link in the full show notes on whatsyourbaseline.com/episode30).

In this episode of the podcast we are talking about:

• What are process mining tools and how they are different than other tools (BI tools, modeling tools) and how can they work together

• Features to look at when choosing a process mining tool

◦ Process Explorer (listen to the details what tools today can and cannot do)

◦ Variant analysis

◦ Root/cause miner, ideally AI-driven

◦ Custom dashboards

◦ Calculate new fields

◦ Package (dashboards, transformations, calculations) and make it reusable

◦ Predictive analysis

◦ Trigger actions (as a quick fix for a process, not a redesign)

• Integration requirements

◦ Integration with source tools

◦ Integration with other mining tools (task mining)

◦ Integration with architecture tool

◦ Integration with process execution

• Cost and other considerations
