Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using the Task Mining component from ProcessMaker to evaluate our business processes and identify inefficiencies, opportunities for streamlining the process and to implement automation. We look at processes which have a very significant number of manual process steps which involve activities outside of our core system landscape, or when there are many different applications involved.

Pros

Connecting activities across applications which are not part of the core landscape (e.g. Excel, MS Teams)
Being able to identify activities being performed such as typing into a form, reading content on pages, or navigating between pages in an application.
Identify copy / paste events, including the source system / application being copied from and the target.

Cons

The maturity of the Task Mining dashboard is quite low
The process for managing the invitation tokens to a team is quite challenging
The knowledge curve for configuring, especially with moderately complex system landscapes, is very steep.

Return on Investment

For the use cases we have deployed, the ROI has been negative - without a significant business impact.
We did not do a good job selecting cases with a strong burning platform to deploy the capability into. Therefore, despite obtaining some interesting insights, there was no desire to make changes to the process - thus not having a business impact.
