> It encourages micro-management. It encourages more and more process.

I think it's a case of there being multiple truths, and depending where you sit on the food chain you'll sing one and not the others:

1. If you're a highly competent dev it gets in the way and wastes valuable time

2. If you're a project manager with thousands of moving parts and a diverse array of talent from almost useless to God-tier it can help keep things on track

3. If you're a rookie you can at least quantify and digest which tasks require your attention and not feel overwhelmed

4. By virtue of some common personality flaws you over-estimate how good you are, underestimate what you need to do, and work on the wrong task and still say it's a pile of shit despite it being exactly what you need
