It is very good at highlighting the changes that the source code automatically does not know how to handle, but it's not very good at reporting the ones that it did automatically.

They can just do a little bit better on the merging of changes for multiple developers."
"The program and portfolio planning facility can be improved."
"One of the areas that could be improved is to have an effective full lifecycle management."
