Not necessarily. I had a student intern at a shop where everybody just directly edited prod and there was no version control system.

    At my first job, the software was configured by directly manipulating the SQL database, using UPDATE statements that were created by Excel macros.
    The Testing database doubled as the only backup.
    They didn't have Remote Desktop licenses for the server, so only 2 people could work on it simultaneously using admin accounts.
    Everyone down to first level support and the secretary had domain admin rights.
