Rally Software Valuable Features

I like the discussion and note-taking capabilities. It's great to keep everything connected to the story itself. A lot of times, tracking changes across features or Epics that change from TI to PI can be tricky, especially with prefixes or how you phrase things. Continuity can be lost. 

That's why we use a common prefix for all things related to digital transformation, like "digital-," so we can easily search and find all relevant user stories. It's a kind of grouping mechanism, even though there might not be a dedicated field for it, like tags.

When it comes to the valuable features of Rally Software, it excels at burn-down charts, burn-up charts, and road mapping once it's set up. I particularly appreciated the new feature for releases and road mapping, which worked exceptionally well.

What I like most about Rally Software, in terms of using it for the agile process, is that it's clear, useful, and user-friendly. I also like that it has every field you can use for the Scrum process.

Another valuable feature of Rally Software is the project tree. That's a lovely software functionality because it lets you better understand the parent and child. The project tree makes that very clear.

I also like the backlog page that shows you the backlogs, and then I can move each log from the backlog page to the screen. You don't have this feature in Microsoft Azure DevOps, so in Microsoft Azure DevOps, you have to create a lot of queries to understand the backlog status. In Rally Software, you don't have to do that.

When Rally Software updated its version and added new functionality, it didn't impact the project I was working on, so that's another pro of the solution. On-premises, every time you update the server or the version, it's a nightmare.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the Kanban board. The team board that you can see, and enables you to capture the working agreements as well as the date and stage. Because that feature is not available in Jira, I found it useful. In terms of metrics, Rally assists you with capture, allowing you to better understand cycle time and lead time metrics. Those are the features of Rally that I really enjoy.

I wouldn't single out any specific feature in Rally Software as I find the entire solution quite useful for us. About five years ago, we found a feature that gave us the team's speed or velocity, which was helpful at the time. However, it is no longer relevant, and we do not use it anymore. Currently, we find resource scheduling, user stories, and strength to be the most valuable features of the solution.

The most valuable features of Rally Software are the executive dashboards, ease of use, and many other features. They have encapsulated everything that a GI can do, such as monitoring, maintaining, and then releasing. It's continuous integration and development.
