Not much to add except I've been in a similar situation and it just sucked all the fun and productivity out of coding for me. I was told what order tasks had to be done in even when it was obviously going to create merge conflicts with other developers, wasn't allowed to do a quick refactor as I went as that had to be added as a new task, had very little influence over what was to be implemented even though I had a better understanding of the risks involved as I understood the code etc. Maybe it works when some developers need more hand holding to keep focused but I prefer being given higher level tasks, a deadline and just being left to get on with things.
