Alternatives to Taiga
Open source agile boards and sprints
Taiga ranks #18 of 24 in Project management, with an Alt Score of 51. It is licensed under MPL-2.0, open source with paid hosting from 5€/month (Enthusiast cloud plan) and available on the web. 12 of 14 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Software and product teams practicing scrum or kanban, especially those who want a self-hostable, open-source alternative to commercial tools like Jira.
Scrum boards with backlog, sprint planning, and burndown charts, plus a separate kanban board with customizable workflows and WIP limits. Work is organized into epics, user stories, tasks, and issues, with dashboards, wikis, and CSV-exportable reports included. The core product is free and open source, and can be self-hosted or used via Taiga's hosted SaaS.
Teams add epics and user stories to a project backlog, estimate and assign them into sprints (scrum) or move them across workflow columns (kanban), and track progress on the board through to done, with issues and comments attached to individual items along the way.
