At my last place they wanted everyone to assign 'effort' numbers to tasks in the scrum tool, and we had to write something to generate a nag report if the weekly effort per person didn't add up to a particular number.

What happened? Well, a per-sprint task to track overhead and PTO is what happened. Which many people just added 40 hours of effort to.
