Management _loves_ to observe and analyze tickets to death. They think that's their entire job.
This is why they buy JIRA. It lets them sit back and look at charts of BS points, BS tags with little to no understanding of what the work actually means. They don't buy JIRA because it helps engineering. They couldn't care less that it takes so much of engineering time.
Which leads to why engineering hates management. Because management doesn't care about engineers, why should engineers care about managers?
- Zigurd 3y agoAgile metrics is the "diet snacks" of project management, and Jira is a key enabler of that delusion.
- JohnBooty 3y agoManagement _loves_ to observe and analyze tickets to death. They think that's their entire job. At my last job they made a lot of noise about valuing collaboration, mentorship, career development, etc. But after layoffs, it was revealed that management literally just counted up Jira tickets to measure developer productivity. So any time you had spent helping others was essentially just time you spent destroying your own performance ratings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
