Powerful Agile Tool
Overall Satisfaction with Rally Software (formerly CA Agile Central)
Rally Software is used by agile development teams to track sprint development work. We also use it to track informal defects and as a requirements repository. It is flexible and powerful to use while also providing export tools for linkage and traceability. Project management, developers, testers, and other stakeholders all use Rally as a comprehensive tool to track, log and assign work.
Pros
- Great to use as a requirements repository for software
- Great for creating sprints and assigning user stories as work
- Great for exporting requirements and defects for reporting
Cons
- The UI for sprint work is not visually as helpful as Jira's
- Cannot customize fields within defects and user stories within different teams if a different team owns the license
- Created a positive and efficient experience to help push agile into our teams
- Provided a great tracking tool for more visibility into what the work is on a team
- Had consistent linkage between all the item IDs to be able to create all the required documents
Overall, Rally Software is a better and more powerful tool than Jira for the same exact purposes. Jira cannot function as a requirements repository so it needs plugins or separate tools to do the same thing. There is no space or option to see all defects or user stories or tasks in a project. There are no export tools.
