Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"It has allowed the quality assurance team to keep all information in sync with the application requirements and user stories for our general development."
"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."
"I was able to create epics for our budgeting concerns and it helped me link everything together."
"Having that view into features and roadmap from product to delivery teams, and where they are going, then execute on."
"Tech support is very responsive, helpful, and available."
"The Defect feature. In one view you can see all your defects and you can push them into the different releases."
"If teams are tracking correctly and entering their information correctly, it's really easy to see where you're at, within your release, and whether you're on track or not."
"With this product, searching for historical information or the evolution of the requirement, detecting conflict between projects has helped a lot."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."
"It is hard to track the changes. For example, we're in sprint 25, and then we have 26, 27, 28, and 29. Throughout that whole time, we're developing pipelines in Azure, moving to GitHub, creating pipelines, and working with teams. But sometimes, we need to revisit specific decisions made in previous sprints, like pipeline details. Maybe it's in our Azure Wiki, GitHub, or Teams, but it's not always consistent. I wish I could search for all tasks or stories related to that particular effort without needing to know everyone's individual stories or features."
"I wish there was a view, like the Kanban view, where you could see the parent, and see all the children visually, so you could drag and drop where you want it to go. Something like that might help."
"A lot of the features that we would be looking to add, I am learning may not be within Agile Central, but part of another CA tool set."
"The Reporting feature can improve, especially around executive summaries and dependency mapping."
"It's a bit cumbersome to manage the Project Picker. As we sunset teams or projects close out - but we still have test cases tied to those teams or projects that are being used in other spaces - we have this monstrous list in the Project Picker that becomes really difficult to manage and find, and we can't clean that up ourselves. It would be nice if it was easier to do that and not lose your history."
"As it is right now, it does not support automation of the quality assurance process. It just supports manual testing."
"We want Rally to generate OKRs, to allow teams to record the OKRs, and then the OKRs can be mapped to the epics and there is organizational alignment."
"One problem I see is that if there is a dependent user story - for example, if my team is working on one thing and there is a dependent user story from another team - we can have a dependency created but we don't know if there is a change of status from the other team. That is something which is very important for Agile Central to look into so that if the other team makes any changes we will be notified as well."
