Beta Programs

Rally's beta programs solicit your input to help us improve the effectiveness and usability of new features before they are released. If you would like to participate, please email betas@rallydev.com.

Git Connector Beta
The Rally Connector for Git creates a traceable link between source code check-ins and Rally artifacts. The traceability relationship improves development efficiency by providing better context to the development staff. Additionally, Rally artifact states can be updated via the connectors making it even easier for developers to keep Rally information up to date.
