Welcome to the Process Analytics monthly news 👋.

Our “always” reminder: The goal of the Process Analytics project is to provide a means to rapidly display meaningful Process Analytics components in your web pages using BPMN 2.0 notation and Open Source libraries.

It's a new year 🎊 and what better way to kick off 2023  than with some Process Analytics news! January brought us exciting developments in the world of [bpmn-visualization](https://github.com/process-analytics/bpmn-visualization-js) and [pm4py ](http://pm4py.org/) integration 🔗. With our team working hard to connect the dots, we’re making bpmn-visualization more accessible and easier to integrate with the [Process Mining](https://www.processmining.org/) ecosystem. 

Let's dive into the details and see what else this month has to offer 👀.


## Integrating bpmn-visualization and pm4py 

We released an [integration example](https://github.com/process-analytics/bpmn-visualization-pm4py) between _bpmn-visualization_ and the state-of-the-art process mining library _pm4py_. This integration means you can perform process mining and visualize the results on BPMN models.  You can watch the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmWcnZ4Ffn0) showcasing the integration example on our youtube channel.

With this integration, the [Process Analytics](https://process-analytics.dev/?utm_source=dev.to&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=news) project empowers the community to take control of your process visualization and bring your process mining results to life with ease ✨. Additionally, the integration offers a way to gain a deeper understanding of the limitations and requirements when it comes to BPMN based process mining and visualization. 

## Bringing Process Analytics into the Classroom

Recently, [Nour](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nour-assy/), our developer advocate, had the opportunity to bring process analytics into the classroom by presenting an introduction to process mining at [Telecom SudParis](https://www.telecom-sudparis.eu/) 🎓.  The lecture was followed by a hands-on session using _bpmn-visualization_ and _pm4py_, so students got a practical understanding of the process mining and visualization tools.

This educational experience gave them an opportunity to learn about the usefulness of process mining and visualization and how it can be applied to real-world scenarios 💪.

## bpmnVisualizationR Package

Versions [0.3.0](https://github.com/process-analytics/bpmn-visualization-R/releases/tag/v0.3.0) and [0.3.1](https://github.com/process-analytics/bpmn-visualization-R/releases/tag/v0.3.1) were released in **January**.

These new versions include documentation improvements to better meet CRAN's requirements.

Notice that the package has been renamed. Please check out the corresponding [release notes](https://github.com/process-analytics/bpmn-visualization-R/releases/tag/v0.3.0) to see what changes you need to make in your R project to use the updated package.

## bpmn-visualization TypeScript library

In **January**, we released two maintenance versions of the bpmn-visualization TypeScript library: [0.29.1](https://github.com/process-analytics/bpmn-visualization-js/releases/tag/v0.29.1) and [0.29.2](https://github.com/process-analytics/bpmn-visualization-js/releases/tag/v0.29.2).

They mainly include documentation improvements.

## That’s all folks!

We hope you enjoyed this **January** project news and are looking forward to the exciting developments and advancements that are coming in the next months. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from the process analytics project 👋.
