Taiga

Taiga is an open-source agile project management platform built for cross-functional teams that want structure without complexity. It supports both Kanban and Scrum workflows, and you can switch between them on the same project without losing your work. Teams that don't need training to get started will feel at home immediately.

The Kanban board covers the basics well: WIP limits, swim lanes, custom workflows, EPICS, sub-tasks, and archive functions. Scrum support goes deeper, with full backlog and sprint planning, per-role estimation, a built-in estimation tool called Taiga Seed, burn-down charts at both the project and sprint level, and a sprint task board with swim lanes per user story.

Beyond boards, Taiga includes:

• Issue tracking with customizable types, priorities, and severities, plus the ability to promote an issue directly to a user story
• Dashboards and reporting including a team health function, full project timeline for auditability, and custom real-time CSV reports
• Wiki built into the project for shared documentation
• Custom roles and permissions so you can control what each team member sees and does
• Integrations via Zapier and a project import/export function for migration

For teams comparing it to Jira or Trello, Taiga sits in a middle ground: more capable than a simple board tool, but far less configuration-heavy than enterprise alternatives like OpenProject.

Self-hosting gives full control over your data, and the codebase is translated into more than 20 languages. The cloud-hosted version is available for teams that prefer not to manage infrastructure. Both paths use the same feature set.
