Abstract

Board-Based Collaborative Work Management Tools (BBTs) like Trello and Microsoft Planner are commonly used as low-code tools to manage the data and processes that support the services an organization provides. Their main advantage over other process execution platforms like traditional business process management systems is that they can be adapted by the users themselves. This is particularly useful in agile and changing environments. However, this flexibility carries some risks, such as badly designed boards, or inefficient or improper board uses (even with quality board designs). Board Miner is a library that leverages board event logs, which capture all the activity that has taken place within the boards, to analyze how boards are used and evolve over time. Therefore, the user will be able to understand the behavior that is hidden behind the structure of the board, which facilitates the detection of inefficient uses or errors that reduce the quality of the board.
