  7. Abstract:
  8. In recent years, requirement engineering and goal modeling have gained more attention among different organisations. Therefore, different methods have been designed to discover stakeholders’ requirements and translate them into process and organizational goals. Various goal models have been introduced to represent these goals and their relations towards each other. Still, these methods are manual representations of different process scenarios and do not relate to the actual behavior. In 2014, Map Miner Method (MMM) was introduced to discover intentional process models from event logs. MMM uses Hidden Markov Model (HMM) as a means to represent the process as a map model of strategies and intentions.Although this method has the same input as process mining methods, no further analysis of the process, such as performance analysis and conformance checking, is performed. In this research, we try to enhance the intentional process models by implementing different approaches used in process mining. First, with the help of Viterbi Algorithm, we discover the relating strategy sequence of each process instance and assign the relevant activity attributes to the discovered strategy. By producing the new event log, not only will it be possible to assess the performance of the discovered model and calculate different process indicators, but also process designers will be able to discover different map models, compare them or even enhance the discovered process map. In order to check the conformance of the discovered intentional process model with the real behavior, two common conformance checking algorithms, footprint analysis and token replay, have been chosen. All the chosen process mining methods have been performed on a real life event log to assess and analyze their performance on the final map model of the process
