Changelog

The year is winding down (🤯), and while some of us might be hanging holiday lights, we’re not ready to slow down just yet. With a few weeks left in 2024, we’re wrapping up some exciting updates and features to close out the year strong. 

We see a world where anyone from any team can access high quality research tools to talk to their users safely and at scale. Read this changelog post to see how Rally for Teams is built for the next generation of User Research.

With fall in full swing, we’re excited to roll out some fresh updates in Rally. Read on to see how you can schedule group interviews, recap our API, and add new options to screeners. Let’s take a look at what’s new this season! 🍁

We’ve been working on some powerful new updates at Rally over the last month, with our API taking center stage. Whether you're ready to streamline your research practice or enhance data interoperability, Rally’s Developer API makes it easier than ever to connect the dots. 

We've teamed up with Ballpark for seamless usability testing and added Dashboards for clearer insights into your research. You can now recruit participants from Respondent's engaged panel and easily connect Rally with other tools using our updated Developer API.

Run research safely and at scale with your own users or recruit from a panel of over 3 million participants powered by Respondent.

We are excited to announce that Rally has achieved HIPAA compliance! 

Over the month of March, we made it our mission to enhance compliance, governance, and safety in our platform. New custom governance rules, PII/PHI masking, and updated property and privacy settings are designed to keep your research endeavours safe, compliant, and smooth.

We’re excited to officially announce the star of this month’s update: Observer Rooms! 🎥 We also rolled out new Interview and Governance activity feeds, amplifying transparency and collaboration within your workspace.

With the Rally and UserTesting integration, customers can capture rich, video-based insights in UserTesting or UserZoom while tapping into Rally to recruit their own users. This integration benefits Rally customers who are already using UserTesting to conduct unmoderated tests. It will also benefit research teams using UserTesting who need a way to recruit and manage their own participants for research.

Happy New Year! We hope you had an amazing holiday season and that the new year brings you nothing but good vibes, exciting adventures, and great research. Over December and through the holiday break, we've been hard at work cooking up some new updates and improvements focused around usability, personalization, and democratization. 

The month of November was a fast paced one for us here at Rally. We're excited to share the latest enhancements, designed to give you more usage and activity data to make strategic decisions for your research team. 

In October, we released enhancements in Rally that continue to build on our goal of making the platform a central hub for organizing, tracking, and managing all your User Research efforts. Keep reading to learn more about what we released. 

We have upgraded Studies in Rally and re-built both the study builder & study management experience from the ground up. Studies includes new purpose-built workflows for 3 study types (interviews, surveys, and unmoderated tests), powerful new integrations, updated study statuses, refreshed governance rules, a slick UI, and much much more! 

Real-time Slack notifications for participant activities, integration with the Snowflake data warehouse for easier data querying, and a simplified team onboarding flow to streamline setup and account activation.
