Clients We Work With
What is Rally Agile Software & What is it Used for?
Rally Software, developed by Broadcom, is an enterprise Agile management platform designed to help organisations plan, prioritise, track, and measure their work, ensuring it aligns with overall strategic goals. It provides a comprehensive solution for managing Agile development at scale, accommodating various methodologies such as SAFe®, Scrum, Kanban, and hybrid approaches.
As an integral component of Broadcom’s ValueOps platform, it integrates seamlessly with other PPM tools within this platform, including Clarity, ConnectALL, and Insights, to facilitate full Value Stream Management (VSM). This integration allows organisations to gain end-to-end visibility and control over their value streams, from initial ideation to delivery and beyond.
Rally is available for deployment both in the cloud and on-premise, offering flexibility to meet different organisational needs. Its primary use is to enable complex organisations to scale their Agile practices effectively, providing the tools necessary to coordinate and manage work across multiple teams and departments.

Jira Align and Rally are both Agile PPM software solutions. Jira is from Atlassian while Rally is from Broadcom. Rally is generally considered to have an advantage when it comes to ease of use and in-depth progress tracking while Jira is thought to offer slightly better integration capabilities. However, when it comes to integration, Ignite is here to help make that part of the process much smoother.
We can get you set up with your Rally integration quickly, provide handover training and ongoing support, meaning you should be able to generate value from your Rally software investment within the first few months of making the switch. The templates and accelerators that Rally offers are also ideal for speeding up the time-to-value.
Azure DevOps is owned by Microsoft, whereas Rally is owned by Broadcom. From peer reviews, Rally is preferred for its advanced reporting capabilities and Kanban compatibility. Meanwhile, Azure DevOps is thought to provide enhanced CI/CD pipelines and integration with Microsoft products. That being said, with support from Ignite Technology, we can facilitate almost any Rally integration in a minimal timeframe.
