Rally Accelerates Success for Customers with Proven Approach to Enterprise Scale Agile

BOULDER, Colo., June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rally RALY, a leading global provider of software and services that drive agility, today announced that it has provided coaching to more than 1,000 organizations, launched more than 200 delivery groups, and guided dozens of Agile transformations using the company's enterprise-class SaaS platform and transformative approach to enterprise scale Agile, Ready>Sync>Go. 

"In today's fast-paced business environment, the most competitive companies are those that can quickly sense and respond to change while continuing to drive innovation and deliver value to customers," said Tim Miller, Chairman and CEO, Rally. "For years, companies have relied on Agile teams to deliver software faster. But to truly achieve agility at the business level, organizations must bring Agile principles beyond the development organization and into to their business operations — those that aren't are at risk of being disrupted."

Enterprise scale Agile up-levels the benefits of Agile at the team level by helping companies coordinate work across multiple teams and align that work to the business' top priorities, so they can deliver more value to customers, faster.

Rally takes customers to the next level of agility with Ready>Sync>Go, a combination of software and services that helps them prepare teams, engage leadership, plan a feature roadmap, align with strategy, and launch a delivery group in as little as three months. Customers have chosen the Ready>Sync>Go approach because it helps them build a predictable development engine that delivers for the business.  

"Partnering with Rally was a key factor in moving our Agile journey forward," said Heather Swinarski, Program Manager and Agile Coach at Physicians Mutual. "It wasn't easy to determine the actual status and priorities of projects coming into IT. Looking at the high volume of work in the pipeline was overwhelming and we couldn't have critical conversations about capacity." The 113-year-old company launched an Agile transformation to better respond to the demands of regulatory and compliance challenges and customer demand for digital services. Using Rally's Ready>Sync>Go software and services approach, the group launched its first iteration with 14 teams.

"Connecting strategy with execution is not easy," explained John Ciriaco, Director of the company's Project Management Office. "Running Agile at scale will give us greater visibility and coordination across our portfolio, so we can deliver the right features at the right time."

In addition to its 276,000 platform users, Rally has trained more than 30,000 people on Agile. Its combined 250+ years of experience makes Rally's coaching and consulting staff the most experienced in the industry.

Rally is sharing its proven approach to Enterprise Scale Agile at the RallyON!™ 2015 conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference — featuring keynotes from Dan Pink and Josh Linkner, and customer presentations from a range of industries — brings the best thinking, strategies, and practices to help organizations keep pace with the new speed of business.
