Have you heard about Basecamp's solution to this, Hill Charts (https://basecamp.com/features/hill-charts)? It's definitely not an 'enterprise' solution, but I find its simplicity a really good map for the _true_ workflow of developers. That is to say, it's abstract and simple enough to use for devs, while meanigful enough for managers to gauge progress.

Plus, their writeup on imagined vs discovered tasks and how Jira et al give false sense of control when creating tickets upfront is also illuminating: https://basecamp.com/shapeup/3.4-chapter-12
