[Academic] Which visualizations make conformance checking easier to understand? (20–30 min; process management or Process Mining background; laptop/desktop)

Hi everyone,

Have you ever looked at a conformance-checking visualization and thought, “I understand the process—but what exactly is this visualization trying to tell me?”

We are a team of master’s students at the University of Mannheim conducting an academic online study on how conformance-checking results should be visualized.

During the study, you will complete a set of short tasks using different visualization idioms and rate the usefulness and ease of use of each visualization. Your responses will help us understand which visualizations genuinely support users—and which ones may make things more complicated than necessary.

Some familiarity with process management, process models, Business Process Management, or Process Mining is recommended. Advanced knowledge of conformance checking is not required, as the relevant concepts are introduced before the tasks begin.

⏱️ Duration: Approximately 20–30 minutes
💻 Device: Laptop or desktop computer required

Thank you very much for supporting our research! Sharing the study with others who may be interested is also greatly appreciated.

Research Study: Which visualizations make conformance checking easier to understand?

Hi r/processmining,

Have you ever looked at a conformance-checking result and thought, “I understand the process model… but what exactly is this visualization trying to tell me?”
That is essentially what our research is about.

We are a team of master’s students at the University of Mannheim conducting an academic experiment on how conformance-checking results should be visualized.

During the study, you will complete a series of short conformance-checking tasks using different visualization idioms and rate how useful and easy to use you find them. No advanced conformance-checking expertise is required—we introduce the key concepts before the tasks begin.

Your participation will help us understand which visualizations genuinely support users and which ones merely look impressive.

  • Duration: Approximately 20–30 minutes
  • Device: Laptop or desktop computer required
  • Background: Some familiarity with process management, process models, Business Process Management, or Process Mining is recommended
  • Cost: A little bit of your time and possibly a few moments of intense staring at process visualizations

Thank you very much for supporting our research. Sharing the study with colleagues, students, or fellow Process Mining enthusiasts would also be greatly appreciated!
