Yes, but only our micromanaging bosses/leads. Real agile is certainly in quotes for a reason :) Nominally it’s agile because it lets you fit things into sprints

Yes, but only our micromanaging bosses/leads. Real agile is certainly in quotes for a reason :) Nominally it’s agile because it lets you fit things into sprints and you’re doing the smallest possible thing with frequent comms, etc. In reality, having tiny little tickets makes for effective developer surveillance, and makes development into a nice mechanical assembly line with no surprises. Well, it doesn’t, of course, but it also conveniently makes all issues look like incompetent devs - how could they POSSIBLY mess up 1 day tasks!? Enterprise agile!
