Product Development in the Age of Process Intelligence: Building Impact-Oriented Structures

Processes are not analyzed just for the sake of analysis; they are examined to enable smarter decisions, faster actions, and more sustainable operations. A Product Developer represents the software intelligence behind this transformation.

At t314M, we emphasize that developers working in the field of process intelligence are not only coders, but also architects who add value to business processes.

Role Definition

In the world of Process Mining and Process Intelligence, a Product Developer transforms process data into operational benefits by developing applications, action triggers, automation scenarios, and user interfaces that run on the platform. In other words, they are not just developers; they productize process intelligence.

Duties & Responsibilities

1. Converting Process Problems into Product Concepts
– Creates product definitions based on analytical results tailored to the needs of the business unit.
– Aligns business requirements with technological capabilities.

Example: In response to recurring invoice approval delays, develops a micro-application that detects delays and notifies the responsible person via Slack.

2. Building Solution Integration on the Platform
– Develops functional prototypes using building blocks such as workflow builders, action engines, and extension frameworks.
– Establishes data exchange with external systems via API integration.

Example: For a client who wants to monitor Purchase Order deviations live on Power BI, sets up an automatic data feed from the Process Intelligence platform to Power BI.

3. Optimizing User Experience and Application Performance
– Develops interfaces based on UI/UX principles and conducts user testing.
– Monitors code performance and improves metrics such as latency and refresh time.

Example: Optimizes a data query with high processing time on a heavily used dashboard, reducing the application’s load time from 11 seconds to 3 seconds.

Essential Competencies

– Coding Knowledge: Fundamental programming skills including JavaScript, Python, SQL, and API data exchange.
– Platform Familiarity: Mastery of the action frameworks of process mining platforms.
– Process Sensitivity: Never forgetting that there is a business process problem behind every module coded.
– UI/UX Awareness: Ability to design user-friendly screens and simplified interfaces.
– Productization Reflex: Ensuring that every solution developed addresses not only today’s problems but also tomorrow’s.

The Role’s Place in the Community (t314M Perspective)

The productization of process intelligence is not only a technological advancement but also a cultural transformation that requires knowledge sharing.

At t314M, we bring together developers who drive this transformation, making both technical knowledge sharing and solution architectures visible.

Product Developers do not merely create individual projects; they help develop standards, methodologies, and reusable components within the community.

Especially those who work with an open-source mindset secure the sustainability of the process intelligence world.

An Inspiring Question

“Can you extract not just information, but a working product from process data?” A good Product Developer can translate that into lines of code.
