I have it seen time and again. Organizations and leadership being faced with a problem and jumping directly to tool / software selection and implementation before really having understood the problem itself, the processes and requirements. After selection, directly to implementation. Because, you know, we a re agile and working in sprints. So we can sort out architecture and interfaces as we go. End result, tools force you into the use not understood processes that have nothing to do with your business requirements whatsoever, an architecture that is cobbled together and users that don't understand neither.

Even better if the tools are selected based on previous experience alone.
