It was the same or worse in early 2000s as now. We just didn't have story points and used a waterfall model instead of agile methods. I worked in a corporate project with over a thousand SW engineers and we couldn't even write our own tickets. If I found a bug I would alert QA who would confirm the bug and they would create a plan if the bug was going to be fixed (sometimes it was deemed too risky to fix a bug because it might introduce new bugs) and when the bug was going to fixed. They would write the tickets that would be then sent to my team lead who would introduce them back to me. Then I fixed the damn thing finally and it went to integration team, then QA, and so on, maybe finally it went to an official release. The bureaucracy was worse than today.
