I hear this pushback constantly: “Async slows everything down”

But that's simply not true.

Most async fails because teams wing it:
→ No clear response time expectations → Scattered communication across 12 different tools → Zero structure for complex discussions → People getting lost in endless message threads.

That's not async working slowly. That's chaos disguised as collaboration.

Done right, async creates clarity, not chaos. Context, not confusion.

And decisions that are thoughtful, not rushed.

That’s exactly what we’re building with Rally.

A platform that helps teams move faster and smarter, without another standing meeting on the calendar.

→ AI-generated questions that prompt deeper thinking
→ Estimation suggestions based on your Jira work items and conversations had around them
→ Discussion points pulled automatically from Jira tickets
→ Session highlights that summarize your session, with new takeaways and potential new items.

With the right structure and the right tools, async isn’t a bottleneck.

It’s a force multiplier for decision-making.

No pressure to respond at the moment.

No time wasted trying to remember why the meeting was booked in the first place.

Just sharp, focused decisions made with better input and less back-and-forth.
