Most teams spend hours documenting everything. Notion workspaces. Confluence pages. GitHub wikis. You name it. But here’s what happens: ☑️New hires still get stuck. ☑️Devs still ask questions that are, “Somewhere in the docs” and crucial context gets lost. This is the Documentation Paradox: The more you write, the harder…

We shipped some updates to Rally recently. 💜🫡 We've made moving between Align and Assign easier while keeping your agenda intact. Perfect for when you go from planning to assigning work. What else is new: ☑️Track time in days or hours ☑️Tag @channel in Slack invites ☑️Better component sync ☑️Cleaner suggestion filtering…

Everyone looks at velocity and burndown charts, but the real insights often hide in the Jira metrics we rarely check. 🟣Lead time - how long tasks actually take from start to completion. 🟣Sprint completion rate - not just what we finished, but what percentage of planned work consistently gets done. 🟣Issue reopening patterns…

Rally was built after seeing remote teams struggle with meetings - quiet team members, disconnected discussions, missed context, and sprint planning that felt like guesswork. That's why we created a space where teams can collaborate naturally in Jira AI helps guide discussions and estimations, while our chat interface…

Why do we limit AI to just note-takers in meetings? Sure, summarization is useful, but there's so much more AI could do to improve our discussions. What if AI could help surface those important questions that often get missed? Or guide teams to explore angles they haven't considered? That's where the real value lies -…

Being a technical leader shouldn't mean being the defacto Jira admin. Yet I keep seeing engineering leads lose their coding time documenting meetings and decisions. Their teams start drifting without consistent technical guidance, while documentation eats up the hours that should go to mentoring and architecture. Decisions…

Since launching in the Atlassian marketplace, we’ve worked hard to improve your Rally experience. Here are a few things we pushed recently, You can now start a rally session with one click from your Jira tickets. No need to plan a session for multiple items - just click and start your session. We've also made it easier to…

30% of team members can't remember key decisions after meetings (Atlassian ). The problem isn't about memory though - it's about losing the context behind those decisions. I have seen this firsthand with engineering teams. You think you'll remember why a decision was made, but three months later when someone asks, 'Why did…

Traditional sprint planning doesn't work for remote teams. We're trying to force in-person practices into virtual spaces, and it's costing us hours of productivity. Think about it: we're asking team members across three time zones to sync up for hours, expecting the same natural flow of conversation we get in person. One…

🚨 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: Your Agile team might be losing productivity without you realizing it! The big problem? CONTEXT SWITCHING. Here's what studies say about context switching: According to the American Psychological Association, switching tasks can cost up to 40% of your productive time. A study by Gloria Mark, a professor at the…

Hello all, and happy Wednesday As a new father, would I be crazy to create a Jira project for my daughter? 🤪

Ever finished a sprint retro feeling you wasted time? We've all been there. lol As a founder and de facto project manager, I've seen firsthand how boring retros hurt team spirit. But with a few creative ideas, we can revive these sessions. Some of my favourites are: ➡ The Sailboat Exercise: Think of your team as a…

Ever finish a sprint planning session knowing your estimates aren't realistic? It's a common challenge - teams spend hours in sprint planning only to miss sprint commitments later. These moments aren’t just frustrating—they cost your team a lot: Missed deadlines, burnout, and strained relationships with stakeholders.…

Last year we launched the "ASSIGN" template on Rally Ever wonder if you're balancing your team's workload right? Here's how Assign helps: 🟣Your team sets their availability for the sprint or lean cycle 🟣Everyone provides time estimates for tasks 🟣Assignment Health shows you real-time team capacity 🟣Assign work while…

After months of hard work, I'm excited to share that Rally is now live on the Atlassian Marketplace, along with our brand new website! Website: www.rallybetter.com Install Rally Here I built Rally because I kept seeing the same pattern: dev teams losing momentum in endless meetings or agile ceremonies, losing key decisions…

In my experience, the most effective teams don't choose between synchronous and asynchronous communication—they master both. It's never about choosing sides. It's about finding the perfect balance. Synchronous communication shines when: ▪️Tackling complex problems that need rapid back-and-forth ▪️Building team rapport and…

As Jira teams, we live and breathe agile. But are we truly harnessing its full power? After years of working with teams across industries, I've noticed some game-changing features often slip under the radar. A few of them are; 🔍 JQL for Custom Dashboards: Use JQL to make focused dashboards. Try this: project =…

I have been seeing everyone's post from Team '24. Pretty bummed I could not attend in person. How was it for you guys on here? What are your thoughts on ROVO?
