Overall Satisfaction with Rally Software (formerly CA Agile Central)

My team used Rally as a project management tool. Specifically, it helped provide insight into workloads, timelines, requirements, impediments, and task status. It was certainly useful in that scope, but it wasn't the most user-friendly and we found that collaboration was easier via other software (such as Jira and Asana).
  • Task status updates
  • Outlining projects
  • Completion timelines
  • Project success metrics
  • User interface is not intuitive
  • Collaboration
  • Project management
  • Task descriptions
  • Timeline allocation
  • Project assignment
  • Agile team work
  • Work load management
  • Tracking project progression and success metrics
  • Tracking individual performance
Rally and Asana have comparable features and are both valuable project management tools, but Asana's user interface is well-organized and highly intuitive. It's easy to add tasks and collaborators, edit due dates, indicate progress on tasks, close out projects, etc. However, Rally's interface is somewhat cluttered and difficult to navigate. My team ended up choosing Asana over Rally due to these concerns.

Did Rally Software live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Rally Software again?

No

Rally is well suited to help outline the specific tasks of a project, create timelines, indicate progress/status of tasks and provide views of team members' workloads. My team used it for our weekly stand up meetings in order to update one another on our progress, and our manager used it as a way to determine who had capacity for additional tasks. It facilitated our transition to a more agile work environment and we used it to implement 2 week "sprints".
