The metrics per finding are provided at the top.

In the process graph widget, the improvement opportunity pattern in the process is highlighted in red.

Improvement opportunityDescriptionHighlightExample
Ping-pongHighlights both nodes and arcs in between so it’s clear that the pattern applies to only these nodes and arcs.Nodes: A, B,and arcs in betweenA-B-C-D-E-D-E-F
ReworkHighlights only the designated node.Nodes AA-B-C-A-Z-A
Extreme durationA pattern where transitions take significantly longer than the usual duration between the steps. Therefore, both nodes and the transition are highlighted.Nodes A, B, and arcs in betweenA-B-C-D-E
Extreme repetitionA pattern where a transition repeats significantly more than the usual repetition range between the steps.Nodes A, B, and arcs in betweenA-B-C-D-E-D-E-D-E-G
Extra stepIdentifies an extra step in a variant. Therefore, the designated node and incoming outgoing arcs are highlighted.Node A and incoming arc and outgoing arcA-B-C-D-E-Z-F
Slow transitionSlow transition applies to the handover from one team to another team.Nodes A, B, and arcs in betweenA-B-C-D-E-F
Repeating patternIncludes arcs to highlight the pattern clearly.Nodes B, C, D, and arcs in betweenA-B-C-D-B-C-D-E-F-G

When you select Analyze in analyst workbench, Analyst workbench opens in the context of the improvement opportunity.

Select the options in the Investigate list to view the details of the records, run a cluster analysis, or to run a root cause analysis.

Select any transition from the graph, a details window is displayed. Use the options under Investigate section on this window to view the records and run a work notes analysis.

These tasks are run using the scheduled tasks that run in the background. After the task completes, you can view the result.

Choose any of the options on Take action to:

  • Set the status of the improvement opportunity.
  • Create a note, CIM, and an automation request for the improvement opportunity.
  • Edit the improvement opportunity by selecting Edit definition.

Further analysis on the improvement opportunity

You can generate the highlights to view the main reasons for inefficiency. To generate highlights, you must have the Now Assist for Creator role and the Process Inefficiency Highlights skill must be activated on the instance. For more details, see Activate Process Inefficiency Highlights skill.

If the Process Inefficiency Highlights skill isn’t activated on the instance, the highlights option isn’t available. However, if the skill is activated, but you don’t have the Process mining for Creator role, then you can only view any highlights that are generated by someone who has the role. For more information about how to generate highlights, see Generate highlights for improvement opportunities.

You can also view the trends, breakdowns, and variants for the selected improvement opportunity.

The Trends tab displays a time series graph and a bar chart displaying two metrics for the improvement opportunity. For the improvement opportunity, the same X axis as the project-level metrics is used. This ensures that both metrics are plotted into one widget and the delta between both measures is displayed.

  • Timeseries graph maps the average time to completion of the improvement opportunity records. This is available for rule-based and automated improvement opportunities.
  • Bar chart shows the number of occurrences of the improvement opportunity record over time. This is available only for automated improvement opportunities.

The breakdowns for the improvement opportunity are displayed in the Breakdowns tab.

  • Select the type by which you want to view the breakdowns in the Type field.
  • Select the Search icon to search the breakdowns.
  • Filter the breakdowns list from the Filter breakdowns icon.
  • Edit the columns list using the Show and hide columns icon.

The variants of the improvement opportunity are displayed in the Variants tab.

  • The list is sorted by the top variation values based on records by default. You can sort it by any other column too.
  • Filter the variation list from the Filter variants icon.
  • Edit the columns list using the Show and hide columns icon.
