Wow...
QAonCall 22nd May 2012
I would expect better writing from someone with so many published articles?

Item 1 clarifies this is a tool, items 2 & 3 refer to methodology...at best that is a stray comment, at worst it voids item 1. Processes need to work well, before you apply tools, which only support them. Why would a tool change a methodology, wouldn't we want the tool to support it?

From Wiki:
Methodology is generally a guideline system for solving a problem, with specific components such as phases, tasks, methods, techniques and tools.[1] It can be defined also as follows:

1. "the analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline";[2]
2. "the systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within a discipline";[2]
3. "the study or description of methods".[3]

A methodology can be considered to include multiple methods, each as applied to various facets of the whole scope of the methodology.The research can be divided become two parts, they are qualitative research and quantitative research.

Nice article

All good points! The new tools help make project management more efficient but don't replace a good project manager.

What business problem are you trying to solve by going to this new methodology (toolset)? Taking the tool set to remote servers doesn't improve project delivery necessarily.

It seems like a lot of the points have caveats that imply more work. i.e. Do this, but when this happens be prepared to do this. How is this better than the old way. Obviously a trade off situation, but the payout better be more than the potential pain.
