What is Taiga?

Taiga is a project management tool for agile teams, with a backlog of user stories, sprint planning, a Kanban board, issues, a wiki and burndown charts. This repository holds the Python backend and API; the web front end lives in a separate repository, and installation is documented through the Taiga Docker setup. It was created by Kaleidos and is used by teams who want an approachable Scrum tool. The interface is translated into 26 languages.

Good fit if

  • You run Scrum or Kanban and want a tool focused on agile practices.
  • You build integrations against a documented API.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want a busier project: only about two dozen commits landed here in the last 90 days. Plane moves faster.
  • You need classic Gantt planning: OpenProject.

Before you adopt it

Taiga is MPL-2.0, a weak copyleft license, with no paid parts in this repository. Development is slow, and installing it means combining several repositories.
