Integration Connectors
Integration connectors to popular open source and commercial tools make it easy for you to extend your existing enterprise tooling investments, reduce implementation costs and seamlessly unify technical and role-based silos into Rally's collaborative Agile dashboard. Connectors are available with Rally's on-demand and on-premise solutions.
Many of Rally's connectors with the tools that automate your development, such as build integration, IDE's and SCM systems, are available at no additional cost. Rally has also developed an Integration Hub, which includes highly-connected integrations with commercial software that allows you to synchronize defects and user stories in both systems.
All of the connectors below are available standard with a Rally Enterprise subscription:
- Development and Build Connectors
- Project/Portfolio Management Connectors
- Product Management Connectors
