I think there is a balance but yeah it isn't good if no record of "where we are" exists.
* The next developer to pick up the task where you left off
* Your technical lead asking for update
* Your manager needing an update for his manager
* Product management wanting to know where we are on some feature
* End users wanting to know when the bug fix / feature they asked for will be in their hands
Everywhere I have worked, we had multiple apps/ticketing systems/etc all trying to roll up / slice & dice data to get to the above.
In the end it just turns into talking to management pinging the next level below them for adhoc status.
Why? Because product is too ignorant to open Jira nor maintain status themselves. Because management above the line manager level is apparently incapable of opening Jira either, let alone 2-3 levels up. Also no one wants to hire real project managers anymore to maintain all the different views & send the weekly updates they demand to receive.
Fixing this from the bottom up is better accomplished via updating ones resume & LinkedIn profile.
But very little detail on how one was technically to do the task, or time spent discussing technical options & tradeoffs.
