Yes, it really is. There is so much software that has been built without a ticket system. If you need examples, just ask!
Tickets can be a proxy for business value, in a way that a checkbook is a proxy for money, but it’s not the checkbook that pays salaries: Software is built in the brain.

Having small-scale tickets that you actually finish is the very essence of agile This I disagree with. "lmm" seems to think that tickets are either "the very essence of agile" or perhaps even essential to "deliver value to the business."
- lmm 8y agoI can believe you've built valuable software without a "ticket system", but not without tickets, whether you called them that or not. You need pieces of functionality that get agreed between the business and the developer. And while it's possible to keep them in both your heads, it's easier and more reliable to record them in writing.
