BOULDER, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Rally®, the leader in Agile application lifecycle management (ALM), today
announced the expansion of the Agile Success Tour, a series of interactive
half-day seminars for software and IT executives who are currently adopting or
considering adopting Agile development practices. The free seminars will be held
in Seattle on October 1, Chicago on October 15 and London, England on October
29. The Boston event was held on September 17.

"I attended the recent Agile Success Tour in Washington, D.C. and was impressed
with how much information I learned in just a half a day, both from the
panelists and other companies in the D.C. area that were also wanting to
transition to Agile," said Bhardwaj Velamakanniof of Omnyx. "Above all, I found
this event to not be a Rally sales pitch, and it really did focus on answering
my specific implementation questions about what to do and what not to do in
order to be successful in my Agile roll-out."

Attendees of the Agile Success Tours will:

* Hear real-life Agile implementation stories from local companies and other
Agile experts.
* Learn how to quantify the benefits of Agile practices in their organization.
* Get questions answered during interactive Q&A and topical breakout sessions
focused on making new Agile teams successful, Agile quality and testing,
socializing Agile within the organization, and Agile metrics.
* See how a QSM Associates (QSMA) study shows Agile teams are 50% faster to
market and 25% more productive as compared to industry averages.

"In this challenging economy, most budgets are shrinking and development teams
are being asked to do more with less," said Ryan Martens, Rally`s founder and
CTO. "Our Agile Success Tours provide an opportunity for companies to learn from
their peers and industry experts about how to use Agile development to improve
productivity, speed time-to-market and ultimately cut costs."

Each event includes an executive panel discussion made up of local Agile
industry leaders and users, a series of breakout sessions where attendees guide
the conversation, and an in-depth review of how Agile practices can measurably
cut costs. To register or learn more about the Agile Success Tour, visit
