Sadly, this constant push to measure and control all processes and tasks infects everything, not just development. Enterprise software is appalling at imposing workflows on everything in sight, and they always have pretty graphs and reports for management. I feel quite strongly that software should serve humans, rather than the other way around. These tools do not exist to help you get your job done, they make you its servant. Imagine how much more productive we could be if we had tools designed to actually help us. Management could still get nice reports, but some manager might have to knock up a spreadsheet.
