"Telstra has integrated Rally with automated deployment tools to complete their entire ALM cycle. If the code isn t attached to a story and a feature in Rally, it s simply not deploying... And Rally is particularly valuable in capturing the velocity of the entire Release Train, in real time."
"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."
"As a project manager, the Rally rollups thrill me. If my intuition is telling me that a project is going well, and if that is validated in Rally, then I know it’s right. There’s no question."
"The business wanted visibility and commitment to a date in a very traditional way, but also wanted flexibility to change scope with the expectation that the development team could still deliver on the right dates."
"We can definitively show where projects stand, and map these to the overarching strategic initiatives. It allows us to bridge the gap from what we’re doing at the execution level to what value we’re delivering to the business."
"Make sure you get education, make sure you get people to attend training and get adopted into the Agile environment so that they’re ready to hit the floor running when they start."
"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."
"Frequent releases can help drive top line revenue and bottom line profits. Using Agile practices and Rally’s solution, we can deliver customer value sooner and avoid a lot of the waste associated with long development cycles."
"Rally and the Agile lifecycle model of development process is really a way to start to completely change the way we deliver software. And it’s great."
"We needed a very cohesive, complete picture to manage a portfolio of consumer brands. Rally s Program Management tools are helping us with that."
"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."
"Rally is top quality. They know the product, they know Agile, they have a practical implementation, and they know transformation. And on top of that, Rally is sensitive to our culture, our needs and are committed to making us successful."
"It’s a mistake to think that Rally is a task management tool, it’s an Agile lifecycle management tool. We use the full spectrum of features, adding tremendous value to our delivery efforts."
"Rally really goes beyond a planning tool and acts as a solution where we can measure how effectively we are executing. As a result of Agile and Rally, the quality of our software has increased dramatically, specifically because we can detail test cases for each user story and constantly track our progress. Rally gives us a solution that allows us to set up our business strategy and effectively execute on that strategy."
"Rally is just a phone call away when we have questions on how should we do this or that. They are true partners, which is a nice thing to have in our toolkit as we’ve adopted agile and transformed our organization."
