Business and IT:
Methodologies are important for both business and information technology (IT). Even though there are tools for enterprise performance monitoring, business process management, and service oriented integration, phases are still needed to capture requirements and to design and
implement specific target solutions. In other words, methodologies are needed. Methodologies involve roles, workflows with sequenced activities, and artifacts that are processed in each
phase. Methodologies also involve the governance of the project
as a whole.
