"A number of companies wanted to get started with agile on just a single team and pilot and scale it up to agile practices, so we designed a product that didn't have the extra features of managing multiple teams in it," said Richard Leavitt, Rally vice president of product marketing. "We took out the program management features," of the Pro edition, he said.

With the new releases of Rally, enhanced custom views and filters enable users to add custom fields to requirements, test cases, and defects. Also offered is an enhanced Web services API for both SOAP and REST (Representational State Transfer), to integrate Rally with IDEs, the company said.  

Inline editing in Rally leveraging AJAX supports requirements, test cases, defects, and scheduling cards.

The core Rally platform now features a new User Story Type requirement, which provides a brief description of functionality to be provided from a user's perspective.

Rally Agile Pro pricing is US$65 per month per user. Rally Agile Team Edition can be purchased for a promotional price of $995 per five users for six months.
