Hypothesis: the moment a team adds the requirement that each PR/commit should be related to a Jira issue, it will start accumulating even more tech debt than before.
This requirement adds a penalty for making small, unrelated improvements that get the project in a better shape.

@matthiasnoback Oooh, interesting take. Are you suggesting that small, unrelated improvements just won't get done?
My team just did this for PRs (commits seems way to granular, but I'm mostly doing infra-as-code); although we do have a "n/a" option, and expectations for clear descriptions. We're only so strict...
