Why are you asking for permission to do the right thing?


Probably the time-tracking bait-and-switch. As a developer, you have to account for every hour you spend on "company time", and you have to forecast those hours ahead of time (usually at the beginning of a "sprint"). You've got a little bit of wiggle room to sneak important things (like refactoring code, writing tests, reading documentation) in between the forecasted tasks, but not days. I guess your employer hasn't gotten "agile" (which is management-speak for "not agile") yet.
