I corrected the post. With that said, I do feel there is great benefit when companies "determine what problem they are trying to solve; determine what tool they will use; document a single way to use the tool; educate". I have seen many instances where a single tool is assumed to solve all the world's problems and it gets twisted around in an attempt to make it work ubiquitously. sorry about that Euan - I did not mean to place words in your mouth.

We had no preconceptions of what people should use the tools for - I didn't care so long as they used them. Thanks for picking up on the story though.
