4 Steps to Agile Development Success for Developers

Collaborate better and stay organized

As a Developer, you need to spend your time coding and testing, rather than managing tools and reporting status. And, you need to easily understand the work you own and signal status to the rest of the team. That’s why we’ve put together a toolkit to help you jumpstart your Agile adoption. Fill out the form below to get Rally’s free Developer Toolkit delivered straight to your inbox.

Step 1: Learn the Basics

First, learn the basics with this set of resources, specifically designed for Developers, including:

“Principles of Agile Architecture” white paper: This white paper discusses the role of “Intentional Architecture” in the development of enterprise-class systems built using Agile methods and techniques.

“Flow, Pull, Innovate: The Secrets to Agile Adoption” Webinar: In this on-demand Web seminar, you’ll learn how your team, teams or entire organization can take advantage of Agile and lean, with the goal of rapid learning and collaboration to achieve the greatest innovation with the least risk of failure.

Step 2: Train Team and Pilot Tool

Train your team in record time by participating in online Agile jumpstart training with one of Rally's in-house Agile coaches. Then, begin your pilot project on Rally Enterprise, Rally's platform for complete Agile lifecycle management.

Step 3: Prove ROI with Rally’s Productivity Calculator and “The Agile Impact Report”

Prove ROI of your Agile investment with a third-party study on the productivity of Agile teams and our Productivity Calculator. The study concluded that, as compared to industry averages, development teams using Agile practices were 37 percent faster to market, 16 percent more productive and able to maintain normal defect counts despite significant schedule compression.

The Productivity Analysis Calculator was designed to help companies and development teams analyze potential savings in time, money, and efficiency by using Agile and Rally solutions.

Step 4: Implementation

Replace your other tools with Rally’s Programmable Platform. By delivering a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) architecture specifically for software lifecycle management, Rally provides software-driven organizations with a programmable platform that extends the Rally application, connects disparate role-based tools and shares Rally data and views with other applications and Web portals.

In addition, Rally provides free Agile education through our library of white papers, webinars and articles on adopting and scaling Agile. Or, for more formal training, Rally also offers public training courses and on-site coaching and consulting. Regardless of your level of Agile adoption, Rally has the resources to help you become an Agile expert.
