I glanced over, I didn't see the blockchain part. But my point is that stuff like Aha, at a smaller startup, can articulate business goals / customer stuff to individual issues on Github/Pivotal Tracker. That in itself is a software solution that supervises itself. Not every startup fits that. But I think if they were open to it they'd like it. There is a downside though, it's 74/mo per user. Ugh. That cost. https://www.aha.io/product/pricing https://www.aha.io/product/pricing But agreed on blockchain in itself not making much sense in this case. The only times I've seen it intertwined with issues was with open source, cryptocurrency places like Gitcoin. > Other than that, it either falls into micro management or into a tech lead role. As soon as a manager starts getting involved in technical decision it usually goes against the tech lead of the team or architect. If a manager asks for status updates constantly it's pure micro management and against the Project Manager. You articulated this a lot better than I could. This is where I've seen manager's occasionally can harm more than they help.
