In their own words
Taiga
Taiga is open-source project management software for cross-functional agile teams using Scrum and Kanban. Kanban boards support customizable workflows, epics, subtasks, swim lanes, filters, search, and work-in-progress limits. Scrum tools cover backlogs, sprint planning, estimations, sprint task boards, and burn-down charts. Issue and bug tracking includes customizable types, priorities, and severities. Teams can use dashboards, project timelines, personal notifications, a wiki, and custom real-time reports with CSV links. Built-in integrations include Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gogs, while a public REST API and outgoing webhooks cover sprint, user story, task, issue, and wiki-page events. Importers are documented for Trello, Jira, GitHub, and Asana, with project moves between Taiga instances. Taiga runs on the web, through an API, or on-premise. The Gratis plan provides one public and one private project, up to 10MB storage, and unlimited users. Paid plans start at €5 a month.
