Best Agile Tracking Tool

Comentarios: Rally is a great collaborative tool for the whole agile team to use easily and track sprints efficiently. It works really well with other MS products as well for export/import.

Puntos a favor:

Rally is the best tool I've used for agile development tracking. The UI is the clearest and the layout is the most intuitive I've seen on the market. It's so easy to display all defects or all stories, tasks, etc. I love the export functions and how simply one can customize own reports.

Contras:

It is really expensive and hard to customize fields for sub-projects that are different than the parent projects.

Puntos a favor:

- The most important feature that we use the on daily cadence is, managing projects, creating features, splitting up user stories for better management, time tracking, task managements for user stories to track the completion of the feature. We also create Dashboards for tracking and managing resources efficiently

Contras:

- The support can be more effective for any queries or cases we create. - There could be more UI features that the Rally product team can bring up for better user experience - The pricing can be better when purchasing with bundles and packages with heavy user license

Integrates well with CICD pipeline tools like Jenkins and Sonar Qube etc.

Contras:

1. Very few fields options are available. We were using ALM before moving on Agile central, all the fields in ALM was not mapped to CA agile. It was difficult to map the fields since it has very less field options. 2. Customization and Report creation during the initial phase was very difficult. 3. Need to depend on the Scrum master to make process changes. 4. Iniital setup of the process was difficult and transition of people from water fall to Agile using CA Agile was challenging.

Rally GUI is so easy to use and seamless. It is the best software to track the user stories and update comments on it.

Contras:

There is nothing to not like about this software. Everything about it is good.

An ok software, but there are better

Comentarios: Rally is good but it has a lot of work to do to be in the same league of Jira or some of those software.

Puntos a favor:

I like the dragging option, the fact that it's not 100% customizable which makes it easy, one you learn it, to work with it. It makes tracking tasks and bugs quite easy and clear.

Contras:

I'm missing better integration with other services, like GitHub. Also, I wish the UI would get a facelift so it would look better, cleaner and modern. Also, the way of adding user stories and defects takes a learning curve.

Rally Is not yet mature

Puntos a favor:

The project tracking with features, user stories and tasks are great.

Contras:

You can get lost sometimes when you are navigating through things.

1. Easy to learn 2. Allows to keep track from Epic to task level efficiently 3. Helps in quick standup meeting updates 4. Good reports on project / sprint progress

Contras:

There are too many options to achieve same result that often leads to confusion for new users

Rally works, but they need to stop constantly updating the UI, which is overly complex

Puntos a favor:

Tasks link to stories, stories link to features, ways to track everything. Allows you to provide a good amount of detail within the stories and acceptance criteria

Contras:

too much effort to link stories to features, too hard to see the details on the features if they are similarly named. task creation and advancing is easy, but the page layout of stories is now convoluted and confusing

Learning the tool took a while, training could be better.

Rally for Agile Project Management and Portfolio Management

Allowing the roll up of stories to features and capabilities to align with value stream has been instrumental in educating our executive leadership team and prioritizing our portfolio

Contras:

Continue to expand the portfolio and program management roll up and reporting features

Agile methodology in the cloud

Puntos a favor:

It's a great way to communicate company wide, easy to create user stories and breaking them down into tasks, the latest UI upgrade was a big improvment.

Agile in the cloud

Puntos a favor:

It is intuitive to create stories, break down to tasks and assign them to the team. The reporting features are very useful for executive summary in my monthly report. Easy to track the progress. It truly has the agile aspects build in for software development environment. The customizable dashboard allows you to track multiple projects and display the most important graphics on one screen.

Contras:

The QA process is a little bit difficult to use. Since we are using a separate bug reporting system, it doesn't really integrate with it. The process of creating test cases and report defects are way too complicated for our environment. Overall, I don't have too much complaints against Rally.

Needs improvement

Comentarios: I have been using this for a couple months on a critical side project.

Puntos a favor:

IT is a ticket management software it does that well but thats about all it gets done well. It has many issuse.

Not so customizable as Jira. 1 defect can not be linked to 2 or more user stories.

Good project management tool

Comentarios: My org implemented rally to increase efficiency and collaboration across projects, and so far it has been a good experience. It does take more time than what I'm accustomed to enter all the stories and tasks, however my manager finds the tracking capabilities very useful. It has helped encourage an agile mindset within my team.

Puntos a favor:

Rally allows my team to create user stories, each with several tasks that can be tracked and updated. It helps to estimate timelines and offers a line of sight into each team member's progress.

Contras:

The user interface can be confusing, especially when first getting acquainted with the software. I would appreciate a more stream-lined, intuitive interface.
