Process Mining with Power BI and R Visuals

This little Power BI project is something like my “Hello World” for using R visuals. I picked Process Mining as the topic for the model because of several reasons: Process Mining is quite different to typical number-aggregating-scanarios, so hopefully interesting! The R visuals are adding possibilities to the project, that can’t be replaced by standard visuals easily. It is still easy to model and understand.
