RallyRally Agile Lifecycle Management

Rally Software is a component of the AgileCycle Application Lifecycle Management Suite. With Rally's Agile project management, your entire organization gains real-time visibility into the status of features and quality, priorities, roadblocks and risks. Rally provides release and iteration planning, scheduling and tracking that supports your team’s natural signaling.

Project management that propels the business

Rally's Agile project management solutions drive early and consistent delivery of customer value by enabling cross-functional teams to efficiently plan and manage software releases that propel the business. By simply dragging requirements from your product backlog into your iterations and releases, Rally helps you balance resources against your highest value features and build plans the whole team can commit to. Project managers—or anyone responsible for meeting customer needs—can:

  • Manage product and release backlogs that reflect the priorities of the business.
  • Use drag-and-drop release planning with high-level estimates to match resource capacity and historic velocity.
  • View feature completeness, defect status and failing tests across multiple projects and teams.
  • Get real-time access to automatic release metrics, burn down and cumulative flow charting.
  • Compare estimates to actuals for continuous improvement.
  • Quickly adjust scope to respond to changing priorities.

Real-time visibility into Agile projects

Rally delivers real-time visibility and low-burden reporting to Agile projects by supporting the natural signaling teams use as stories progress through their lifecycle. With Rally, everyone can assess the priority and state of each feature, how much effort remains versus how much is available and what needs to be done to remove blocks and move work forward. Rally's project management tools help you:
  • Schedule all or parts of requirements from your release backlog with drag-and-drop iteration planning.
  • Understand all the priorities, work and commitments for the iteration.
  • Real-time dashboards let you drill down into stories and see progress on their associated tasks, tests or defects.

More time coding; less time managing tools

Rally’s customizable widgets for data entry, status monitoring and reporting support the team collaboration needed to stay on top of changes and commitments. With Rally, developers and testers have a light weight environment that significantly increases their time spent coding and testing, rather than managing tools and reporting status. Rally's project management tools help you:
  • Customize your personal home page to track progress, get alerts and view reports.
  • Navigate between multiple projects and products.
  • Easily update tasks, defects, notifications, reports and charts with customizable widgets displays.
  • Get notifications via Rally, email and RSS.
  • Instantly communicate handoffs, blocks and readiness to synchronize teams.
  • Collaborate with team members via most instant messaging applications.

Another challenge for organizations adopting agile practices is that they rely heavily on collaboration. With the continued rise in globally distributed teams, this can present challenges. This is being answered somewhat by the inclusion of improved collaboration support in development tools.”
