Jira Turned Agile Into a Micromanagement ToolThere was a time when Agile felt liberating. Teams owned their work, conversations mattered more than documentation, and progress was measured by outcomes, not activity. Then somewhere along the way, tools stepped in to “support” the process. What followed in many organizations was not support but substitution. Jira did not break Agile by design. It became the easiest place for organizations to quietly reintroduce control, visibility, and ultimately micromanagement under the label of transparency.
