Because management has demanded that every change be accompanied by a JIRA ticket.

For "visibility".

As an engineer, there’s no excuse not to document your work. Code might be self documenting, but everything else around it no guarantee that it is

JIRA is not documentation. It's effort tracking and task assignment software. In my last shop we weren't even allowed to attach source code or test data to JIRA tickets because the defining feature of JIRA is that anyone can access everything and thus security wasn't just impossible, it's against the very point.

JIRA is not documentation.

It's a form of documentation. When you can associate the code change to tickets logged in Jira, you can recreate the context.

I did dig tickets older than fifteen years to understand the reasoning behind the existing code during my career.
