Rally Software Other Advice

There are a lot of tools out there, and it depends on what you're doing. For planning and managing at the project or program level, Rally is a good tool. 

However, at the development level, down to individual user stories and features, it can be a bit Wild West-ish in a way.

I haven't encountered it myself by breaking things down too far. But it takes diligence to do things right at that level, just like with Jira. For program-level stuff, though, Rally does a good job. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I have always been a fan of Rally Software, having used it since 2005. However, recent changes have made it more complex than necessary, and I do not understand why they made those changes. While they are modeling themselves after the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), which many people use for scaling multiple teams, I believe they should stay more agnostic. Overall, I would rate their performance an 8 out of 10. If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have given them a perfect 10.

I rate Rally Software an eight out of ten.

I used the latest version of Rally Software the last time I used it.

My company used the solution on the cloud.

More or less one hundred people used Rally Software in the company. The users belong to the software, mechanical, and electronic departments.

I'm recommending Rally Software to others, particularly for the Scrum process, but I won't recommend it for a DevOps project because it's not a good tool for that. A DevOps project requires continuous integration and delivery for virtual machines and pipelines, which is functionality I don't see in Rally Software. On Microsoft Azure DevOps, you can do it through the configuration manager, software manager, and continuous delivery manager, but that is not possible in Rally Software. Microsoft Azure DevOps has three extensive functionalities, while Rally Software has one considerable functionality only.

In general, if I needed to use Rally Software only for the Scrum process, my rating would be nine out of ten.

The company was a Rally Software customer.

Given the industry and what is happening in the industry with more organizations attempting to become product-centric, Rally Software is definitely attempting to accommodate a lot of changes.

They should adopt the OKR.  In my company, for my client, we are attempting to implement OKR.

I would rate Rally Software a seven out of ten.

My advice to others is when you use Rally Software every day, they must be more hands-on. The employees have to have a level of maturity for gaining knowledge of the software. They need to know what it can do, what it can't do, knowing the ins and outs of the software are important.

I rate Rally Software an eight out of ten.
