The issue is that software developers (correctly) identify the burndown chart as useless due to estimation in software being a joke.

Software developers' mistake is not realizing that "linking the tickets" into Epics that managers can search is hugely important.

If the project director has no clue about what tickets people are working on things go south fast.

All developers should agree on that.

They don’t because no matter how well my tasks are mapped to tasks it rarely reflects reality.

The only reason stuff gets done as it should it because me and my peers are responsible, and because we have a good understanding of what needs to be done, not because of how things are mapped in JIRA.
