2 HP Agile Manager key differentiator points Powerful connectivity Agile Manager offers native connectivity with the entire HP ADM solution portfolio. The solution includes a home-grown tool the ALM synchronizer for out-of-the-box (OOTB) synchronization between ALM and AGM. Customers can leverage their existing testing assets while managing Agile Projects in AGM. Developers and testers can work seamlessly in both ALM and AGM while release, defects and user stories and other data are continuously synchronized between both tools. HP Software's quality emphasis applied to Agile The solution brings together Dev and QA to be working as a team. Out-of-the-box, customers can define done based on feature/user story/release, and can align all teams in the program to the same done criteria. ALI and Dev Insight AGM has built-in support for integrating with dev tools, Build Servers and SCM s. This all comes as part of the Agile Manager license without any additional fees or installation. This integration provides build and release tracking which complements the common Agile reporting capabilities for Burn Downs, Burn Up, and more. IDE plug-ins for Eclipse, Visual Studio and Intelij equip developers to continue working from their own development environment making their backlog and tasks accessible to check-in code against them. Usability As a tool that was built from the ground up to support Agile and Agile at scale, Agile Manager is tailored to the most common methodologies out there (scrum, kanban and scrumban) that provides a unique feature set for release planning, backlog grooming, sprint retrospective and storyboard customization. Support for SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) is provided via a feature set that includes feature planning, prioritization with WSJF, tracking of planned vs. actual and investment efforts for architectural vs. business features. Installation and upgradability This enterprise-ready product is aligned with common enterprise standards for security and high availability. The product is packaged as an installer (rather than as a software appliance) and is simple to deploy, configure and upgrade compared to other tools.

3 Rally Software Who are they? Steer strategy Run development Expand collaboration Begin your transformation Rally s Agile ALM platform and products support multi-team, multi-process development environments to establish a single source of record for progress, status and quality. Rally provides an Agile ALM platform and products backed by Agile and Lean coaching services. Price Community Edition Free Up to 10 users Enterprise Edition $35 user/month Annual commitment required Unlimited Edition $49 user/month Annual commitment required Why is Rally the competition? Rated as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Development (HP is a challenger) Practices lean development to evolve its products Strong service division and partnerships Strong support for agile processes Unified view across teams to provide a transparent view of a development project Management team projects a strong vision and has consistent product delivery Integration services and customization provide a solid platform that enables users to customize to meet their own needs Drag-and-drop and inline editing in the UI UI and functionality are high

4 HP Agile Manager vs. Rally HP Agile Manager Integrates directly to HP PPM for portfolio prioritization and management of all project types IDE integration includes IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse (Tasktop), Visual Studio (Tasktop) and out of the box reports and no need for additional modules and cost Automatic linking of code and work Items Users able to create and edit defects all in one view Delivered User Stories lets users see the unit test and coverage Users can enter estimated time for tasks, defects, user stories, backlog items and releases More robust and user-friendly UI to customize reports Users can save searches by creating Favorites in any list Rally Can t do that Also offers IDE integration but the coverage isn t as wide Uses connectors for linking some code files Defects created in line by selecting the defect icon can be hard to figure out how to log a defect Requirements are tracked by setting the to-do hours Users track time against a project, user story, etc. and track timesheet hours Customize reports using standard filters Searches are saved as a method of a report

5 How to win How HP beats Rally Overall usability of the app and clean UI All inclusive app that appeals to enterprise development teams Part of the HP IT Performance Suite, HP Agile Manager works with the entire HP Software portfolio for integrated, cross-function collaboration and end-to-end agility Intuitive design Offers a set of innovations that removes latencies, bolsters agile practices and advances continuous improvement Two-way synchronization between HP Agile Manager and HP ALM/Quality Center DevOps integrations with HP Performance Anywhere Integration to HP Project and Portfolio Management that allows users to prioritize and track activities from Agile Manager ALI robustness showing build status Development lifecycle linked through the app Question Rally s drawbacks Ease of setup Can the software be installed on premise or is an appliance needed? Does the software work on all browser types? Usability What s their UI s capability to change? Does it support all traditional project methods? Or is it only suited for organizations using agile? What are the project collaboration capabilities of the software? Does it support full-fledged PPM tool? Is it behind in resource planning? (Doesn t allow individual team members to enter their availability and sum it up for the sprint) Can the reports be customized? How easy are they to use? Does the software have effective cross team and program management features? Cost Only the most expensive Unlimited Edition has all of thefeatures, so does it have poor ROI? What is the support cost for the software?
