BOULDER, Colo., June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rally (NYSE:
RALY), a leading global provider of software and services that
drive agility, today announced new capabilities to its
enterprise-class SaaS platform. Capacity Planning and Release
Tracking — capabilities not available on any other Agile platform —
empower enterprise customers to plan and steer the delivery of
business value by connecting strategy to Agile team delivery.
"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.
"Rally's new platform capabilities, combined with its
industry-leading Agile consulting services, give customers the
tools they need to take Agile to the next level."
New Rally capabilities announced today include:
- Capacity Planning: Rally's unique capacity planning
capability allows business and technology leaders to quickly create
realistic, high-level plans in support of business initiatives. The
visualization of both demand and supply in a single view gets the
emotions out of handling too much demand with not enough capacity
and strengthens collaboration between business and technology. A
"sandbox" for portfolio, product, and engineering leaders helps
them create what-if scenarios that optimize 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: You've got realistic plans, now what?
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 as
teams progress on their work. 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 a predictable cadence.
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. "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."
Rally is demonstrating its new Enterprise Scale Agile
capabilities with customers at the RallyON!™ 2015 conference in
Phoenix, Arizona. The conference —

Josh Linkner, and customer
presentations from a range of industries — brings the best
