2012 Symposium     Bronze Sponsor

The Briantrust Consulting Group specializes in helping companies of all sizes gain efficiencies in their software development and implementation process. We do this through the pragmatic application of best practices, in the fields of project management and software development lifecycles.  Unlike other companies we listen to our customers and take the time to understand their specific history and culture. With this knowledge we are able to tailor a methodology to their environment instead of tailoring their environment to a methodology.

At The Briantrust Consulting Group, we are passionate about Agile and it shows through in every class that we teach. We not only teach Agile, we live and breathe it. Our unique approach to training focuses on hands-on-exercises and utilizes the latest brain science techniques from the field of Accelerated Learning.

When adopting Agile methods, a trusted advisor can save your team time and frustration. At The Braintrust Consulting Group, we know that the best way to support clients during a Scrum implementation is with coaching. Our experienced coaches will work with you to assess your specific needs and create a customized implementation plan. With a plan in place, we can then tailor our services to your team’s unique challenges.

Rally is the recognized leader in Agile application lifecycle management (ALM). We are dedicated to helping organizations embrace Agile and Lean development practices that increase the pace of innovation and improve product quality.

2012 Symposium     Silver Sponsor

Your Partner for Agile Success.

One way to describe Rally is to say we are absolutely dedicated to making your development organization faster, leaner and more Agile. In fact, we think helping you be "on time and on budget" is setting a pretty low bar for success. We want you to consistently win product awards. We want to spike your net promoter score. We want you to be in control of your own destiny, because no matter how fast things change, you've got the speed and agility to move to the front of the pack.

A short, 'press release' way to describe Rally is that we're the leader in Agile application lifecycle management (ALM).

Yes, it can sound like hype, but in its May 2010 evaluation of 10 Agile tool vendors, Forrester Research wrote that Rally "offers the best current balance of product capability and strategic outlook." That's high praise for our products, but we're not just an award-winning software vendor. We've also built unique Agile services expertise to help companies through the organizational change required to become a great, innovative, Agile business. Forrester summed it up more modestly, saying, "Rally has a strong services group with lots of experience around enterprise Agile adoption, benchmarking and assessments."

Every day, thousands of project teams around the world log into Rally to gain the visibility and collaboration needed to transform their business into an Agile Enterprise, making Rally the #1 Agile Application Lifecycle Management platform for distributed Agile development.

Contact us and talk to smart people about your efforts and how Rally's products and Agile services can make your life easier.
