This curriculum spans the technical and organizational dimensions of workflow mining at a scale and depth comparable to a multi-phase process intelligence initiative, integrating data engineering, algorithmic analysis, compliance auditing, and system integration across enterprise environments.

Module 1: Foundations of Workflow Mining and Process Discovery

  • Selecting event log sources from heterogeneous enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, and BPM platforms based on data completeness and timestamp reliability
  • Defining process boundaries and scope for mining based on business ownership and cross-functional dependencies
  • Mapping event attributes (e.g., case ID, activity name, timestamp) to process model constructs while handling inconsistent naming conventions
  • Deciding between control-flow-only discovery versus incorporating data and resource perspectives in initial models
  • Evaluating fitness, precision, generalization, and simplicity of discovered process models using quantitative metrics
  • Handling incomplete or missing event logs due to system outages or partial instrumentation
  • Integrating timestamped events from batch and real-time systems with differing clock synchronizations
  • Assessing the impact of log abstraction levels (e.g., user tasks vs. system events) on model interpretability

Module 2: Event Log Preprocessing and Data Engineering

  • Designing data pipelines to extract, clean, and enrich event logs from transactional databases with schema drift
  • Resolving duplicate, missing, or out-of-sequence timestamps using interpolation and domain rules
  • Normalizing activity labels across departments or systems using semantic mapping and clustering

  • Designing exception handling workflows for frequently occurring deviations
  • Handling partial traces in conformance checking when logs lack start or end events
  • Integrating domain rules into conformance checks to reflect regulatory or policy constraints
