Under that kind of top-down structure, each team will force their organic processes into the Procrustean bed of what the project management system expects. Aggregating that data heedless of any variation in meaning will result in garbage. Leadership can't do anything with aggregate metrics derived from day-to-day development anyway. That results in fantasy metrics like "velocity". They should be focused on conditions and outcomes.
