Sending a team to an Agile training session is merely a first step to building Agile behaviors. Having someone with the experience and patience to coach your Agile leaders increases the likelihood that the learning continues long after the class is over, and provides the needed support when the issues are highlighted and require action. While grassroots efforts create the initial energy and buzz, transformation requires a mindset change at the team level and the executive level to ensure the investment is not lost. Rally provided coaching at each necessary level and we continue to see improvements in relationships and delivery.

We save time because we are better managed, and we save money because we have tighter releases with higher quality. We also know more than we ever did about releases when we put them out.

Rally is a full web application that is very economical. It let us start small and scaled up easily without needing a lot of professional services. Within a month the first team was using 80 of Rally’s available functionality and we have been able to quickly repeat our implementation with other teams.
