"In federal programs, we have customers that change directions at any moment based on world events. Rally has given us the ability to quickly adapt and change, and has improved customer communication and transparency, and ultimately, customer satisfaction."
“Rally has provided our organisation with complete transparency into our development progress. This visibility has significantly enhanced collaboration, both within development and with teams outside of development. For example, our sales team knows exactly what we are doing and feels comfortable committing to a specific date for a given set of features or functionality with their customers and prospects. Rally is not just viewed as a tool, but it has become an integrated part of how we work.”
"It has been a terrific experience, partnering one-on one with a Rally Engineer for 48hours, staying up late until 3am, in order to learn the SDK and see all those people pair programming and getting into routines that we do not have...I recommend people attend the hackathon, for the experience."
"A project of that scope would likely have taken two to three years using our older waterfall style process, we released version 1.0 of the redesigned product to the market in twelve months."
"We wanted experts in Agile to help us, and we got that with Rally...Rally coaches helped us to apply SAFe in a very short amount of time so we could deliver value to our clients sooner."
"Rally not only allowed our development teams to have the day-to-day tools that they need to make them successful, but it gave us the information we need for our executives to run the business."
"Movement to an online organization--delivering 'live' and frequently--has not only shifted the market and customer expectations; it has shifted the culture of our organization."
"The velocity and productivity gains Rally brought to the 2010 Census Agile ICS development team enabled us to deliver applications that processed more data at a much faster rate than during previous Census operations."
"At a very fundamental level, going to Agile is so rewarding to the team because the collaboration and the work they do together ultimately creates a better product. The outcome of that is that the team feels very engaged and very fulfilled as they do product development that way."
"We have really felt a lot of loyalty from both Rally and Planview to our desire to become more of an Agile transformed organization."
"It takes continued education, training, reinforcement, and communication throughout the whole time. It's a slow build. It doesn't happen overnight, at least in a big company."
"In addition to the fact that there is a high level of synchronicity between our two companies I also felt that Rally offered the best solution on the market. We were impressed with their SaaS model because it would allow us to focus on our core competency, rather than trying to create some sort of Agile tracking and reporting method ourselves."
"Rally’s helped us do that because it’s a visual representation of the process that we’re doing."
"A lot of the traditional Agile practices relied on a traditional task board that everybody could kind of get around and look at. That wasn’t going to be reasonable in our case, so Rally was a nice fit for us to be able to expose [the board] on a distributed basis."
"Most online games can take years to develop and demonstrate a solid playable experience. By using Agile and Rally, we were able to build the first playable experience and start play testing with kids in just four sprints (two months)."
