    • Improvement opportunities overview: Presents project-related statistics and highlights areas where process improvements are possible.
    • Variation analysis: Allows comparison of different process variants within a project, with filtering and sorting options. You can view detailed graphs for selected variants in the Analyst Workbench.

    In the Opportunities section, you can view a list of rule-based and automated improvement opportunities associated with the project.

    • Select the list beside View in Workbench to get more options.
      • The states, New, Under review, and Archived, are available to track your progress taken on the improvement opportunities listed there. Any new improvement opportunity on which no work is done is in the New state. If an action is taken, then the improvement opportunity is moved to Under review. If some action has been taken in the background, you can manually set the improvement opportunity to Under review. If something is not relevant anymore, you can archive it. However, if an improvement opportunity is in the Archived state, you can only move it to New. Also, when you add a note, CIM, or Automation request to an improvement opportunity that is in the New state, then the improvement opportunity automatically moves to Under review.
      • You can start any investigative actions, such as running a root cause analysis.
      • You can also add a note, create a CIM, or create an automation request.
