How OpsHub Integration Manager integrates Clarity and Rally Software
OpsHub Integration Manager integrates Clarity(formerly Clarity PPM) and Rally Software bidirectionally. It ensures that all historical and current data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All ‘tasks’ from Clarity(formerly Clarity PPM) synchronize to Rally Software as ‘features’. The features are further broken down as user stories. Along with the user stories, the estimated effort hours and other details populated by the development team also synchronizes to Clarity(formerly Clarity PPM). This gives the product management team real-time visibility into the development work and therefore, they can plan the iterations better.
