We use it for our backlog and tasks within Scrum and Kanban. We use it based on epics, features, and user initiatives at various levels. Our group is at a lower level, which focuses on features under epics and uses user stories further down. We try to break things down as much as possible, but legacy code sometimes requires estimations. Breaking down user stories is the hardest part. While Rally tracks sprints well with good note-taking, we have challenges. Our team is a hybrid. We handle operational updates like server tasks, not strictly following scrum patterns but carrying tickets over sprints. There's no easy switch between Scrum and Kanban, so we adapt. We also handle production issues, supporting developers and DevOps in their tools. It's customer-focused and keeps things running smoothly. That's primarily how we use the board.

Regarding my use of Rally Software, it was originally called RallyDev when I started using it in 2006. However, it was later acquired by CA and renamed Rally CA. One of our use cases for Rally CA was to support our business process automation (BPA) efforts and move everything to the cloud. When we first started using Rally Software, they did not have capabilities and strategic initiatives set up, and their features and ethics had disappeared. However, we soon discovered that their strategic initiatives were now referred to as Epics, and the capabilities module had replaced the features. Additionally, they had always had users. Unfortunately, this breakdown did not translate well to the team I took over for, and I had to restructure all of the releases and tie them to function to ensure that we could use billing codes in the capabilities. We also had to create governance settings reports to catch errors and warn us about missing features or capabilities. This was important because it was easy to lose a step with Rally CA, and we needed to stay on top of things. As a result, we developed a workflow governance system that alerted us to any issues or discrepancies in our work. For instance, if we put the projected end date before the projected start date or if we had stories without capabilities, we would receive warnings.

I used Rally Software for the agile process in software and mechanical products. My previous company produced software for a machine, and I embedded the software.

It is used to track any enhancements or new integrations. We have integrations from mainframe systems to RESTful services. We also have a few SOAP integrations. Essentially, we use the feature level of Rally to document what the interface is and then the engineers make the user stories within the feature to represent the tasks that they need to do to complete the interface, which includes everything from making the design document to the activities that they do in IIB, such as deploying the code to production. Our version has probably been updated within the last three months.

It's mainly about test cases and automation of data. I, as a test automation architect, collect all that data and show the metrics.

I was previously using it as a scrum monitor for the team. It helps with billing and the IT team used it, as well. I am very satisfied with this product.
