The challenge is that we can't necessarily use social networking as a control mechanism, and many traditional approaches to project management are heavy on control even as they emphasize the importance of communication. we can't practice project management without some understanding of how social networking operates.

As well the PM 2.0 advocates have lost their connection with the core principles of project management:

- What will it cost?
- When will it be done?
- Do we know what “done” looks like?
- What are the impediments to getting to “done”?
- Who do we need to get all the work “done?”

Without clear and concise answers to these questions, the tools have no purpose. With the answers to these questions, the tools might be useful, but usually only for the tools vendors.

Tools are a convenience for storing information, communicating that information, and analyzing the information around the MANAGEMENT of projects.

The tools are not a replacement for project management.
