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.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_process_optimization_analyst, sn_process_optimization_power_user, or sn_process_optimization_admin

To mine a project, ensure that you have enabled [Audit Log](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_EnableAuditingForATable&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US) for the parent table of the project.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to Workspaces \> Process Mining Workspace.
2. Select Create New Project in the upper right corner.  
   The Project Setup page is displayed.

## What to do next

Perform the following steps.
* **[Set objectives](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/niIbVOZuqFtIobduEDa5bw)**   
  Define the kind of data or process that you want to view and analyse in your graph. You must select a specific table (parent table) that has the data that you want to analyse.
* **[Scoping your analysis](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9HjEJYSaz~xTCpYmA7m77w)**   
  Define the data that you want to view in the graph.
* **[Set improvement opportunities](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/viI_ZW4uJeBZ9q_UhWC8_g)**   
  Set improvement opportunities to find areas of improvement by which teams could optimize a process. You can either select from a list of rules available to you or set your own rules. Based on the rules set by you, you can view your areas of improvement.
* **[Review and mine your project](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/oiGt6HhZhrA4Ap~9R9C4bg)**   
  After you've created the project by setting the objectives, scoping the analysis, and adding improvement opportunities, it's time to mine the project.
