So much project management is about gaming internal politics and managing information flow between lower and higher parts of the hierarchy. These tools market themselves as creating transparency but they are in practice often used to hide or excuse things. I suppose that is why they all take the tragic path from being heralded as new and fresh in the beginning to absolutely being hated in the end. Goes for methodologies as well (I remember the agile manifesto ... look at where we are now).
