Methodology

Methodology is all about using the tools you have in the way they were intended. If you have experience of software development you might be aware of the concept of design patterns. According to Wikipedia:

Patterns are formalized best practices that the programmer can use to solve common problems when designing an application or system

Design patterns make for a simplified and efficient development process. Likewise, using Workbench the right way makes for a more productive and efficient FME experience.
