Literally, it means "with a method". Any activity which is carried out by adhering strictly to some method could be described as methodical.
Usually, "methodical" is used to describe a task which is repeated over and over with little or no variation, and "methodically" is used to describe someone performing such a task.

Going over every part of something piece by piece or section by section...Ever hear of the phrase, "Going over it with a fine tooth comb?" That's the same thing.
