Has improved project traceability and accelerated test case creation with strong AI assistance
As for improvements needed for Inflectra SpiraPlan, I don't know if there are much more to improve, but in the case of creating users when you want to create roles, there's a checkbox that gives access to the users. There should be one checkbox that can click everything at a time and then you can just uncheck the few ones that you don't need. Most times you want to check almost all the boxes and just leave a few, but then you have to check a lot of boxes one after the other. For someone who tries to work really smart, that impacts our time, so a single checkbox to select all would be great.

Sr Technical Architect at HCLSoftware
Drilling into change lifecycles has given me clear end to end traceability for every item
Reporting is my main area of concern. Additionally, the migration activity and portability are important areas for improvement. If I needed to move from Jira to Rally Software, having built-in portability or migration utilities would be beneficial. At the time of my use, there was not an inbuilt capability to migrate applications from other third-party solutions to Rally Software. Currently, I am not using Rally Software.
