We had this issue with time estimates at work. JIRA field was minutes, which got printed as fractional hours elsewhere. Not good if you put 20 minutes. So suggestion was to use 15 minute intervals, but I pointed out that as long as you used multiples of 3 you'd get 2 digit results, so I'd round to multiples of 3 instead

Those are ridiculously fine grained tasks (or very precise estimations)?

Anything that takes less than an eg half an hour, I would probably just do, instead of making a ticket and an estimation. But I guess some companies are more bureaucratic than others?
