Process Mining/Evidence
Method evidence record

Process Mining

Process Mining is a data-driven discipline that extracts knowledge about real-world processes from event logs recorded by information systems. Introduced systematically by Wil van der Aalst, with foundational workflow mining formalized in 2004 and consolidated in the 2016 textbook, the technique bridges data science and process management. It enables organizations to discover how processes actually execute, check whether execution conforms to prescribed models, and diagnose performance bottlenecks — all directly from digital traces.
