This is interesting to me, because I work in a "methodology" business -- except in our field, everyone understands that properly implementing Earned Value Analysis requires the combination of: - Good people, who know what they're doing; - Good processes, that support those people; - Good tools, which enable the processes There's been no effort (of which I'm aware, anyway) to turn this into a cargo cult.

So it gets to stay a "real" thing and avoid the weird cargo-cult transformation that's plagued other ideas.
