Rally adds integrations to agile software service

TAGS: Application development

Rally Software is bolstering its hosted service for managing agile software development projects, with new or upgraded integrations with open source and commercial development tools.

New integration connectors link Rally Version 2007.5 to the Subversion version control system, Microsoft Visual Studio and Bugzilla and Jira defect tracking. Also added are integrations with Microsoft SharePoint, Skype, Instant Messaging and Seapine TestTrack Pro for bug tracking.

Rally also offers integrations with the CruiseControl and Maven build systems.

Updated integrations have been made with the Eclipse Mylin project for an Eclipse workbench, and Eclipse 3.3. Linkage to Mercury Quality Center also has been improved.

Agile development, which produces software in short iterations, continues to gain traction, said Ryan Martens, Rally CTO. Software produced through it "tends to be of higher value to customers," than software built via traditional methods, he said.

The new release provide for resource management to balance workloads across teams. Also included are project hierarchies and dependencies for multi-level projects and dependent work products.

Configurable dashboard widgets are featured to display work status. Executive dashboards in the product are easier to understand than before.
