Rally's Agile lifecycle management solutions recognized for helping organizations of all sizes seamlessly adopt and scale Agile practices
BOULDER, Colo., March 6, 2008 - Rally Software Development Corp., the #1 partner for Agile success through its family of products, coaching and community support, today announced it has been awarded its third consecutive Jolt Product Excellence Award in the Project Management Tools category for Rally Enterprise, its on-demand Agile lifecycle management solution. Rally Enterprise also received a Jolt Productivity Award in the Enterprise Tools category. Rally was previously awarded the Jolt Product Excellence Award in the Project Management Tools category in 2006 and 2007.
"We are extremely proud to once again be recognized for providing software lifecycle management solutions that have helped so many of our customers successfully adopt and scale Agile practices," said Tim Miller, CEO of Rally. "Our family of end-to-end Agile solutions all speak to Rally's ongoing commitment to provide software-driven organizations with proven tools and services to shorten development cycles, improve collaboration and minimize risk."
"As Agile practices move into the mainstream, potential customers have expressed concern about adopting Agile and related Agile solutions because they are hesitant to rip and replace their existing ALM tools," said Ryan Martens, Rally's founder and CTO. "Rally's latest release enables customers to use our enterprise-ready integrations to adopt Agile and Rally incrementally, so they can minimize risk and ensure their organizations implement agility in a pragmatic and successful manner."
Rally Enterprise features an innovative integration hub that helps multi-team development organizations protect existing investments, reduce implementation costs and create greater collaboration between technical and role-based silos, pulling them all into a real-time Agile dashboard. Throughout 2007, Rally successfully integrated with numerous development, quality assurance, testing, collaboration and project/portfolio management tools. Earlier this week, Rally announced new enterprise-ready integrations with traditional application lifecycle management (ALM) vendors, including IBM®, Microsoft® and HP®.
The Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards were judged by a respected panel of Dr. Dobb's Journal editors, expert advisers and columnists. The awards were presented at the Software Development Conference's 18th Annual Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards ceremony in Santa Clara, Calif., on March 5, 2008. The Jolt awards are given to products, books and Web sites that have "jolted" the industry by helping to create faster, easier and more efficient software.
This year's winners will be featured in the June 2008 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal. For more information on the awards, visit www.drdobbsjournal.com.
