This article provides instructions for customers using Rally for Teams (Rally V2). Your Rally admin will let you know when it's time to switch to Rally for Teams.

Populations streamline participant recruitment and collaboration for all teams. Dedicated populations let UX teams manage their own participants privately, while shared populations make it easier for all teams to access research-ready participants.
