Use Case: Salesforce integration with Rally Software
Problem statement: The service/support team in an organization uses Salesforce and the product development team uses Rally Software. As these systems are not integrated, it becomes cumbersome for the service/support team to follow up with backend team on each case.
Solution: If Salesforce and Rally Software are integrated, the service/support team will not have to manually keep following with the product development team about each case and they can keep the customer up-to-date all the time.
- The support team logs an ‘enhancement request’ in Salesforce.
- The ‘enhancement request’ synchronizes to Rally Software as a ‘user story’ with status ‘New’. The Project Manager using Rally Software approves the enhancement request.
- The development team lead assigns a delivery date for the ‘user story’ and breaks the user story into multiple tasks.
- The delivery date & associated tasks synchronize in Salesforce as well. The support/service team is, therefore, updated with the due delivery date.
- The development team starts work on the user story, tests it, and marks it as ‘complete’.
