Stipulated: many companies suck at engineering management.

But in companies that are good at engineering management, you will often find:

- weekly planning sessions

- daily standups

- work ticketing and backlog systems (sometimes Atlassian ones!)

- prioritization discussions

So I would suggest that anyone who assumes that those activities correlate with bad engineering management, is falling into a base rate fallacy.

P(is badly managed | Jira) is high, but that’s because P(is badly managed | tech company) is high.
