On my team, we had a process (for nearly a decade) that lead to us being done on time, on budget, and a very low bug count that didn't involve a lot of overhead (not everything required a ticket, we did code reviews only when we thought of doing so, etc.).

New management took over (they finally realized they bought us out a few years ago), shoving "Agile" down our throats, we've missed multiple deadlines, every deployment has been a disaster, and there are still outstanding bugs that won't be fixed Any Time Soon because they're not on the release schedule.

Oh, and the new mandatory code reviews before checking in code hasn't helped since bugs still got through (and I've lost code because it wasn't checked in---it's not helping matters that we're still stuck on SVN, and half the team can't access the master SVN server).

Yeah, the overhead sure is doing great for us.

Edit: fixed typo.
