Rally, a provider of software and services that drive agility, has added new capabilities to its enterprise-class SaaS platform.
"As more companies become increasingly software-driven, it's imperative that they connect their software delivery practices to their business operations with enterprise scale Agile," said Tim Miller, Chairman and CEO, Rally.
The new features include:
Capacity planning
Create realistic, high-level plans in support of business initiatives. The visualisation of both demand and supply in a single view strengthens collaboration between business and technology. A "sandbox" for portfolio, product, and engineering leaders helps them develop what-if scenarios that
optimise business value with team capacity.
By moving capacity planning out of spreadsheets and closer to where the work is tracked, users can more confidently build what matters most to the business, improve predictability, and deliver value faster.
Capacity planning is in limited open beta.
Release tracking
Release tracking provides full transparency into the work's progress, risks, and dependencies, at a level of granularity consumable by business and technology leaders, and in real-time. This feature lets business and technology leaders see where they need to cut scope, move work, and steer the plan to meet business goals on predictably.
Release tracking is in open beta for all Rally Portfolio Manager customers.
"The Elekta management team and I were early believers in Agile and saw
opportunities for increased quality and predictability early on," says
Todd Powell, Executive Vice President for Elekta Software, a medical systems provider with eight offices in Asia Pacific.
"With Rally's capacity planning capability, an unexpected by-product is that we're producing a great deal of data about our work. We can quantify not only the work we're doing, but also the size of the problems we can address. Coupled with a data-driven answer about what our real capacity is at any given time - and what the real demand is - we are better able to predict for other areas of the business, such as marketing and sales, in terms of deliverability and timeframes. This has a tremendous impact on our teams."
The updates are available to Rally Unlimited Edition customers at no additional cost.
