Taiga

Taiga is an agile project management web application designed for teams that plan and track work using Scrum or Kanban. It provides end-to-end workflows for managing backlogs, sprints, tasks, issues, and team collaboration, and is commonly deployed using the official Docker-based stack.

Key Features

• Scrum projects: product backlog, sprint planning, story points, sprint backlog, and sprint burn-down style progress tracking
• Kanban projects with configurable columns and WIP-style flow
• Issue tracking with custom fields, tags, priorities, severities, statuses, and assignments
• Wiki/knowledge pages and rich text editing for project documentation
• Roles/permissions and per-project membership management
• REST API for integrations and automation; webhooks supported in Taiga’s ecosystem
• Email notifications and watcher/follower-style updates on work items
• Dockerized deployment (taiga-docker) providing a full stack: backend, frontend, events, PostgreSQL, and reverse proxy

Use Cases

• Software teams running Scrum ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, daily updates)
• Product teams managing feature requests, bugs, and releases in a single system
• Cross-functional teams tracking operational work with Kanban flow

Limitations and Considerations

• The Docker repository is a deployment bundle; core feature development occurs in other Taiga repositories (backend/frontend), so updates require coordinating stack versions.

Taiga fits teams wanting a structured agile tool with both Scrum and Kanban, plus a mature issue/work item model. The official Docker stack simplifies standing up the full service with the required supporting components.
