Rally Makes the Agile Connection With New Integrations


By David Rubinstein
August 8, 2007 — 
Rally Software announced connectors today to open-source products and commercial collaboration tools, as the company continues to build out its agile development management tools for large organizations.

Company founder and CTO Ryan Martens sees the Rally family evolving into an integration hub, rather than a software stack. "These integrations, and agile in general, are changing how we deliver software, how we develop it and the processes that we use," Martens said.

New open-source connectors have been created for the Subversion version control system, the Bugzilla and Jira defect-tracking tools, Ant and Maven for build management and Fitnesse and JUnit for testing. Martens singled out for recognition what he called "massively updated Eclipse Integration," including a new connector to the Mylin project that enables users to work offline and then sync up their work through Rally when they come back online.

An integration with Skype also is new, with Martens calling it "a key day-to-day tool for agile development collaboration."

On the commercial side, Rally now integrates with HP (formerly Mercury) Quality Center for automated testing, Microsoft's SharePoint for collaboration, and Visual Studio .NET and Microsoft Project for project and portfolio management.

Also new to Rally in this release are such enterprise features as resource management, with a team status page so managers can check the availability of individuals and the workloads they're carrying; and a widget-based executive dashboard that provides views at project and program levels. Reports provide updates on the status of tasks, defects and notifications, among other categories.
