Integrations for time-tracking software with issue tracking software exists, but I've never actually seen them used in combination before. You'd think that issue trackers would always include a very user-friendly time tracker by default, and advertise integrations with popular time trackers just to get that "actual time spent" data. I've also never looked at a burndown chart with any particular interest after knowing you can close an 8h issue after .5h and a .5h issue after 8h of work and the issue tracker will just keep pretending its charts mean anything.
Yet any company that does a lot of the same work could probably use that. You'd still need to do some extra work and tag your issues by things that you want to observe (and maybe predict), but then you could say things like "after we switched to that fancy new API client generator, our client development times went way down but debugging times went up a bit". And the system could display some time range while you're writing the issue. You could also look at the issues at the end of a sprint and then merge them with other items from the time tracker to see how meetings and other distractions played into the outcome.
