Discovery (EN)

Discovery in Process Mining

Discovery refers to the automated generation of process models from event logs to visualize actual processes without prior knowledge. This method allows for the identification of typical process paths and the uncovering of unexpected deviations from the target process. Discovery analyses serve as the starting point for deeper investigations of business processes.
