Purpose-Built for Agility
Rally Software offers clear advantages over Jira Align for organizations implementing the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). While both tools are designed to support agile at scale, Jira Align is often complex, difficult to navigate, and requires significant overhead.
Rally accelerates adoption with a user-friendly interface, streamlined workflows, and intuitive reporting. It is a practical, scalable solution for organizations committed to large-scale transformation.
A Simpler Alternative
Choose a platform that truly enables agility at scale—without the unnecessary complexity of Jira Align.
User-Friendly Interface
Rally is known for being intuitive. Its interface supports quick adoption across teams, reducing the learning curve and minimizing the need for extensive training.
Simpler Configuration
Jira Align often requires complex configurations and heavy IT support. Rally offers a cleaner experience without needing constant customization.
Lower Total Cost
With fewer setup complexities, faster onboarding, and less overhead, Rally is a more cost-effective solution for scaling Agile quickly.
Faster Time to Value
Because it's easier to implement and adopt, Rally enables organizations to realize value from their Agile transformation efforts more quickly.
Stronger Native Metrics
Rally provides robust built-in reporting tailored for Agile performance metrics—like throughput, predictability, and team velocity—without needing third-party tools or custom dashboards.
Streamlined Implementation Without Expensive Add-ons
Jira Align requires additional apps to support Scaled Agile implementations. Rally provides this functionality out of the box.
- Reduced complexity in the technology stack
- Lower TCO by avoiding additional subscription fees
- Consistent user experience across all SAFe levels
- Simplified maintenance and updates
- Integrated reporting without data synchronization issues
