Variant Explorer
Don't Miss On Any Variation of Your Process
In the ideal world, processes run according to the prescribed rules. However, we don’t live in an ideal world. Learn how to spot all the process variants with FUTUROOT.
Processes Don't Have Only One Variant
You have your standard operating procedures (SOPs) documented and shared among the workers. Everyone should know what rules to follow and how to perform each step of the process.
It seems quite straightforward and comprehensible on paper. Yet, the reality often differs from what’s on paper.
Workers add new steps and don’t document them. A newcomer joins without proper training. One party omits what they perceive as a redundant activity in the process. Others tend to skip one level of approval, just because that is the reality of the everyday life of a business. Real-life processes differ from those on paper in multiple ways or so-called variants.
FUTUROOT Variant Explorer
Without event logs and process discovery techniques, you wouldn’t know about the different paths the process is taking.
FUTUROOT Variant Explorer allows you to inspect the various unique paths or variations that have been followed as part of a specific business process.
Variant Explorer presents a simple interactive visualisation of the activity sequences within a process and integrates various KPIs, enabling you to analyse the process variations based on their outcomes quickly.
With Variant Explorer, you will get the following:
- Animation and highlighting of process variants
- Filtering of data based on advanced filter choices
- Process view at a Dimension Level
- Sorting of variants based on various preset and dynamic metrics
- Analysing both Process metrics and Variant-wise Process Maps, side by side
- KPI and Resource Utilization Views

Don't Limit Your Process Efficiency With Unnecessary Variants
Once you objectively see all the process variants based on the event logs from your business systems, you can make informed decisions about your process efficiency.
You can start the analysis with the following questions:
- Is there a better way to do the process than what we put together initially?
- Are there any violations in the process that we need to address?
- Is one variant preferred by the majority of the users? Should we consider it within the SOPs?
- Do we need to train employees again to take the right path in the process?
- Are we wasting resources on unnecessary steps within the prescribed variant? Can we do it in another way? and others
