Digital.ai Agility vs. Doppler

Digital.ai Agility is an ideal tool for anyone who is looking to track the work of a software development team following agile processes. It easily supports multiple teams with multiple backlogs, but also allows aggregation and rollup across those teams for larger analysis and planning.

Doppler is a really good service for SecretOps, it handles, syncs, and integrates with APIs & cloud platforms. Most DevOps tasks can be optimized and improved at a greater rate. It can integrate dashboards, APIs & secrets with any cloud or on-premise environment. It can handle environment variables, API keys, DB URLs, Secrets, Ports, Private keys, or Public Keys which makes CI/CD Integration much easier. Applications can be monitored and developed easier than before which make developers life easier.

• Automated saving of changes, no records can be lost because all items are saved in real-time.
• The watch function, optional but beneficial when managing multiple teams or projects.

• Easier to save secrets
• Hassle free for DevOps team

• Saving of changes is inconsistent. Sometimes the changes appear to save automatically and other times the user needs to click the "Apply" button. Until the user is familiar with when this needs to happen, work can easily be lost.
• This may be a setup configuration issue, but it would be good to be able to set the default team when creating stories. Too often stories are created and the user forgets to enter the team and they need to search the entire database for the story that was just created.

• I wish I could grant developers more granular access.
• It takes some effort to set up environments, and their documentation and tooling might be improved.

VersionOne provides outstanding training. They have Product Owner training that I recommend every Product Owner attend. They have scrum master training and other agile training that was well worth the money paid because it made the teams more productive. And the support for the tool is incredible. These people live and breathe Agile and are evangelists and enthusiasts.

We considered rally & AgileCraft since they also provides good support to SAFe framework. Though I personally found Rally better equipped but Rally was rejected due to its higher cost. AgileCraft & Version One provides many common features i.e Team Rooms, Planning Rooms, Capabilities Kanban, Road mapping but Version One support for collaboration tools & its seamless integration with GitHub played key role in going with Version One.

The "sharing secrets" issue has mostly been resolved for us by Doppler, especially for local development. In addition to using it with GitHub Actions for builds, we also use it locally, in K8s, across AWS (primarily via SSM integration), and across other platforms.

• At first, it was difficult for the teams as we were learning Agile and VersionOne. But VersionOne provided us with great training and support. As such the teams were able to quickly adopt and embrace Agile.
• Our teams are now more efficient.
• Our time to market has decreased significantly.
