Rally as a Tool


3 comments:

  1. Why Rally has Kanban chart but not Scrum chart, as Kanban and Scrum are the two diff frameworks of Agile?

    1. For Scrum teams, Rally is delivering a new iteration overview panel that promotes Scrum best practices with built-in coaching that signals problems and suggests the right course of action to help teams get back on track.



      Rally has added a number of new Kanban features that include:

      Customizable defect charts - highly suited for Kanban teams, yet applicable to all teams working to analyze the quality of their development activities, new defect reports can be customized to match the cadence of the team.

      Class of service support - highlight a class of service, such as a type of card that should flow across the Kanban board faster.

      In-column aging for Kanban - shows how long a card has been in a column in order to identify blocks and keep work flowing.
      Rally now provides a variety of dashboard panels and applications to meet specific compliance requirements in high assurance environments. New high assurance panels and apps include:

      Product Requirements Document (PRD) Traceability Matrix - allows the creator to select from their list of tagged PRDs and creates a trace report showing all of the features associated to the PRD along with test cases, results and design outputs.

      Software Requirements Specification (SRS) Document - generates a PRD document directly from user stories within Rally, which can be exported for formal signoff and storage in a document repository.
      Iteration and Release Traceability Apps - displays stories with their associated tasks, test cases and defects for an iteration or a release to highlight dependencies and assumptions in the plan.

      Build Traceability App - provides a view of Rally artifacts (defects, stories and/or tasks) within a particular build, making it easy to identify what has changed from one build to the next.

      Release Dependencies App - displays a table of stories scheduled for the selected release that either has a predecessor or a successor to visualize risks, dependencies and the overall critical path.

      Complete Artifact-to-Artifact Traceability - provides detailed artifact-to-artifact traceability by linking requirements to the test cases, tasks, defects, change sets, and builds to which associated artifacts are tied.

    2. And also looks like Rally has features(for Dashboards) added to it for different frameworks not just Kanban as its the only leading tool we have for Agile ALM(Application Life cycle Management). There could be features that are related to Scrum too, that we need to know.
