Yes. I thought they did for a long time, but having used them as a developer and project manager and seen the harm they cause, I learned that they destroy value by creating unnecessary bureaucracy which has taken on Kafkaesque proportions in recent years. The only people who claim that these tools add value are people whose jobs depend on the existence of these tools. There are a LOT, a LOT of such people. I would say at least 90% of office workers today and increasing.
