Case Work: Lab at Process Mining Camp 2026

Process Mining Camp 2026

On the third and last day of this year’s Process Mining Camp, you will be practicing your analytical process mining skills on a whole new level: We have prepared a realistic data set, together with information about the company and its challenges. And then you, together with a small group of other campers, will put your skills to the test, and work on solving this case.

Just like in a war game or an incident response exercise, you will immerse yourself in the problem space. Orient yourself, learn what your role requires and implies, and attempt to find the best way to approach the situation.

There is a lot of value in actually going through a bite-size process mining project with some distance, unencumbered by real constraints. You are no longer distracted by your own process and company knowledge. You can try out ideas, think big, and go out on a limb — safety net included.

Throughout the day, there will be multiple opportunities to check your hypotheses and obtain more information from subject-matter experts. Choose the right analysis focus, make sure you interpret the data correctly, and see how you can communicate with various stakeholders.

You will do all this with group members of very different backgrounds. By working together with people from other industries, roles, cultural background, and with just different experiences, you will gain a new perspective of how to approach a process mining project.

See you in Marseille very, very soon!

Discuss What Matters at Process Mining Camp 2026

Process Mining Camp 2026

You want to make sure that your process mining efforts bear fruit and create tangible value for your organization. To maximize the impact of your work, you need to involve the right people and align your analyses with your company’s strategic goals. How are other process miners dealing with this? What has worked for them and what hasn’t?

On the second day of this year’s Process Mining Camp, you will take a step back and focus on some important organizational aspects. To kick us off, Hajo Reijers from Utrecht University will talk to us about responsible process mining. Then, you will learn and share your knowledge in a series of four interactive workshops. Formulate the right analysis goals, manage data pipelines, show business value, and communicate effectively about process mining.

Analysis Goals

Every successful process improvement needs focus. Do you want to increase speed, lower cost, or create a better customer experience? Are your goals already well-defined or still vague? In this workshop, we will sharpen our view on what good analysis questions are, how you can categorize them, and how you can make sure that you are measuring the right thing.

Data Management

Getting the right data is often the first barrier that people deal with in their process mining initiatives. In this workshop, we go deeper into the most frequent challenges related to data. Ensure data availability, address security and privacy concerns, and discover root causes and best practices for data quality problems.

Business Value

When you can quantify the improvement opportunities you discovered, you can proceed in a much more targeted manner. You can prioritize and pick the improvements with the highest business value. But you can also compare the expected benefits to the realized changes at the end of your process mining project. In this workshop, we discuss how to quantify the value of process improvements for different use cases, including soft benefits.

Communication

Whether you want to convince higher management, discuss your data requirements with IT, solicit the support of domain experts, or share your findings with your colleagues — you often need to introduce other stakeholders to process mining, explain how you work, and get them on board. In this workshop, we discuss how to communicate effectively, depending on who you are talking to.

Get the impulse and the missing pieces you need to take the next step with process mining. You will share your experience with your peers and learn how to make process mining work in your own organization.

We can’t wait to see you in Marseille very soon!

Process Mining Analysis Tip: Mean vs. Median

When we looked at bottlenecks in the previous analysis tip video, Emilio asked whether it is still a good idea to use the mean if you don’t have a normal distribution.

That’s a very good question because the arithmetic mean is often quite influenced by outliers. In contrast, the median represents a typical value and may be a better way to analyze the performance of your process.

In this new 3-minute analysis tip video, we examine examples of the mean and median in Disco in various situations.

Work out at Process Mining Camp 2026

Process Mining Camp 2026

Your skills as a process miner are the foundation of your process mining practice. You want to be familiar with a broad range of analysis approaches, and to be confident in applying them correctly and productively. The mechanics of process mining progressively become second nature, moving into the background. This allows you to concentrate on analyzing a process interactively together with domain experts, for example.

You want to be familiar with how to use the process mining tool itself, but you also need a thorough understanding of the concepts behind process mining. On the first day of Process Mining Camp 2026, you will sharpen your skills in two workout sessions.

In the data workout, you will practice creating an event log in different scenarios.

Data preparation is not something that you can just outsource to IT, or to data experts in your organization. There are a number choices that have a direct influence on the types of analysis that you can perform later. This means that you need to have a seat at the table. You will guide the data preparation steps, even if you don’t execute them yourself.

The analysis workout will challenge your understanding of the fine differences in process exploration.

What is the regular flow, and where are the deviations? Where does the process start, and where does it end? Once you start analyzing, you will find that you need to refine your initial analysis questions. And, eventually, you will want to develop ideas for improvements, and make projections about the likely effects of these process changes. How exactly can you do all this?

You will work hands-on, on a series of exercises. For each exercise, we discuss the solutions, so that you can learn from your mistakes.

You can choose from exercises on different levels of difficulty. This ensures that regardless of how experienced you already are, you will learn something new. And of course, if you are completely new to process mining, be sure to join the boot camp to get familiar with the fundamental concepts before camp.

Join The Boot Camp Before Process Mining Camp 2026

Process Mining Camp 2026

Process Mining Camp is the place for experienced process miners to meet and learn from each other. But what if you are still relatively new and have never done a process mining project yourself? Is camp also right for you?

Well, it absolutely is! There is no better way to learn than by looking over the shoulder of a professional at the top of their game. You will take away so much, just from listening to other process miners discussing their challenges, their approaches, and their perspective. And, of course, you will also get plenty of hands-on practice yourself — including the experience of working on a realistic process mining case.

Having said that, in order to make camp a worthwhile experience, you need to have a basic understanding of the core process mining concepts. This is why we introduced boot camp a few years ago. This basic training will make you familiar with the essentials and prepare you for camp, so that you can hit the ground running.

At this year’s Process Mining Camp we are making boot camp available to all campers free of charge. And we invite all of you to join us for the first session, even if you won’t be able to join us at camp!

Boot camp takes place online, over two sessions. In the first session we introduce the technology and position it with respect to other methods, so that you can clearly place it in your head. Then, we guide you through a typical process mining scenario, step by step. Afterwards, you will learn simplification strategies for complex process maps. Finally, we give you a homework exercise with concrete questions to analyze. In the second session, you will discuss the solution to the homework exercise and learn about typical analysis questions and common data challenges.

While the second session takes place one week before camp, the first session takes place three times and is open to the public. So, if you are still on the fence about joining camp, or even if you are just looking for a crash course of process mining, this is a great chance to get a head start in this topic.

To join the first session of boot camp, pick one of the following dates:
