I mean, thats pretty normal for any stage tech organization.
The question is, who gets the right to create a jira ticket? Maybe you can do it, or just one other person. Thats not a big limitation at all to moving quick.
Edit because this is causing a stir:
Engineers within teams should have the right to create tickets themselves. Tickets should be minimal depending on the task. Creating a ticket that says 'update documentation' may take 10 seconds. Updating documentation may require a pull request. Controls (SOC compliance) may require that work is tracked to tickets.
The core questions I have is, who can create the tickets, and how detailed do they need to be?
