Its like you can't be fired for buying Microsoft (as an IT purchase decision). You can't be fired for buying JIRA. JIRA makes everything, the most broken or dodgy processes look respectable. It keeps Managers and scrum masters busy. They have a toy to play with, and why not?, why should only devs have toys. I'm not saying I hate JIRA, or that it doesn't work. Its just that sometimes the tail wags the dog.
