- Current CASE tools offer limited functionality
- mechanize pen and paper -mentality of methods
- methods are fixed ~ no modifications allowed
- only the data support ~ model drawing and consistency checking tools

- we do not have methods available that have been developed solely to be used in CASE).
- Weak support for user-native methods.
- Limited support for "new" objectives (e.g. component modeling).
