Process mining is a field related to data science. Basically you take an event log, put it into PM algorithms (e.g. heuristic miner or inductive miner) and you get a model of the underlaying process eventually (think of it as a flow chart). On top of that you can run analysis that look for bottlenecks, for example.
I'm not quite happy with the ecosystem though. Most tools are either cloud based like Celonis or organically grown Java bloatware (PROM, Disco). PM4Py also looks like a Java project that was tweaked until it was syntactically correct Python. However, it's probably the most usable free tool for PM out there. And to be fair, it's a quite young project also, docs looked much worse half a year ago.
Edit: added PM tools
