Visualize and analyze your business flows from automated process data, and act on
those insights.

## Summary and Insights page {#analyze-get-process-insights__section_fzh_2q4_z4b}

In addition to having a visualization of your process, you can also see interesting facts which can help improve it. Process Mining uses rules and cluster analysis of connections, activities, and routes to deliver these calculated insights to you. From the Summary and Insights page, you can access statistically relevant
findings on such metrics as speed, quality, and cost impacts to your business. You can view an overview of the improvement opportunities as well as a detailed report. You can also create a new finding rule for the project from
here.

## Analyst Workbench {#analyze-get-process-insights__section_lf3_fq4_z4b}

To better analyze your business process, refine the process map generated from your project data. You can refine a map from the Analyst Workbench. From the workbench, you can further analyze two projects side by side, collaborate on improvement initiatives, and view metrics.  
Note:  
The Analyst Workbench can be accessed only after a project has been configured and its data generated into a process map.

From either the page or workbench, you can perform such tasks as cluster and process analyses.
