Role required: sn_process_optimization_analyst, sn_process_optimization_power_user,
or sn_process_optimization_admin

* [Create a project or template using Project Builder](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/M_d8qXuYwg5jpe_SJumjOQ "Create and mine a project using the Project Builder to analyze and optimize your business processes. Create a template to reuse it when you want to use the same project conditions multiple times. In the Project Builder, the entire process is broken down into three sections and an overview to make the task easier and more efficient.")
* [Configure multi-dimensional mining](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2oLVkzWFidclhuxK4Jnm4g "Use multi-dimensional mining to identify inefficiencies and improve performance by evaluating data from multiple related tables.")
