Take a New Look at Rally
Release 4 Now Available
Rally Release 4 delivers exciting new features including a new user interface that eases incremental and role-based adoption of Rally, enhanced performance for low-bandwidth infrastructures found in some world-wide deployments, and new export and import capabilities that support interoperability and advanced reporting.
Highlights of this release include:
New UI Simplifies Management of Projects and Work Products
- Rally's new user interface eases incremental and role-based adoption. Teams can quickly start with project planning and scheduling, or focus first on managing their requirements, test cases or defects - and grow into managing the entire development lifecycle.
- New views let you efficiently manage your release backlogs and show dependencies among work products.
Faster Performance for Low-Bandwidth Connections
- Enhanced page performance for low-bandwidth connections found in some world-wide deployments.
New Export & Import Features for Interoperability and Advanced Reporting
- Export Defects, Test Cases, Story Cards, Tasks, Releases and Iterations into CSV format to easily share with existing systems and reporting tools.
- Enhanced import functionality now supports work product attributes.
