Taiga is an easy and intuitive yet powerful project management tool for multi-functional agile teams. It has a rich and complete feature set with extensive customization options, at the same time it is very simple to start with through its intuitive user interface.
Whether your team uses Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban or just want to track issues, Taiga an ideal tool. Its features include an intuitive backlog and sprint planning, a sprint board with swim-lanes per user story and a sprint dashboard with a burn down chart, fully customizable Kanban boards with WIP limits, Epics, sub tasks, issue tracking and a Wiki function. Furthermore, you can specify different team roles, estimate story points per role and move unfinished user stories to other sprints.
The project timeline and projects dashboard provide an easy overview of activities while the sprint and team performance dashboards are focused on closed tasks, points from completed user stories and specific elements like issues reported and Wiki pages edited. There is also a unique estimation game to determine (relative) size of different user stories.
What makes it stand out is the intuitive user interface. This makes Taiga particularly useful for multi-functional teams and/or client teams. The zoom function for the Kanban and Sprint boards allows to easily move from overview to detail view and back and the tool is available in over 30 languages.
Integrations with Slack, Hipchat, GitHub, Gitlab, Mattermost are pre-configured. A lot more integrations are possible through easy to configure webhooks and an extensive API set. If you are currently working with Trello, Asana, Jira 7 or Github, you can seamlessly import your project data.
We were using taiga for over 1 year to manage a team of software developers. Since we were using SCRUM for agile methodology, taiga was the chosen tool to complete the work

Pros The UI is great, you can easily create cards, track progress and more for your team. Also you can manage the theme of the dashboard, I loved it.
Cons It is a little bit expensive and you can create just 1 project for free, after that you need to pay.
Starting to work in a small team with Taiga is just easy.
We haven't gone for the full integration of the development lifecycle and we are ok with that: we think that the cost involved is way too high for the value it brings, as ours is a composite architecture.
It is friendly, clear and nice to use. Simple.

Response from Taiga
Hi Sylvia, thanks for your review! Have you checked the comments and activity timeline for both user stories and subtask? This provides the history and allows to audit changes both on a project level in the project timeline as well as on user story/subtask level in their respective views
Finally a product with which the management was happy (attractive price). People (developers) finally started to use ONE product for keeping track of development of different products & projects and things are now handled in Taiga instead in txt files, SVN commit comments etc. Its easier to keep track of the development status of a product - but every member of team must use Taiga regularly - which was the hardest part to agree on.

Pros We chose Taiga over other similar available products because of the price and its simplicity. Its good for tracking progress of development, issues and options for adding custom user inputs. Integrations with other platforms is a plus.
Cons Easy (simple) reporting for management (weekly, monthly) would be a nice-to-have function. Sometimes the website works a bit slow. Wiki pages could work a bit better. Automatic reminder for issues that were not updated (touched by anyone) in some period would be good to have as well.
Easy to use, 100% customizable and very high performance

We have used it mainly as a kanban board and it fits perfectly to our needs. It allows us to easily replicate our workflow and has saved many hundreds of hours of management and communication both within the team and with the customer.
It is fast and its usability is excellent, reducing to the maximum the number of clicks to perform actions.
Highly recommended.

Pros Taiga is not overloaded with features like other applications. The learning curve is very short because of that and the UX is very intuitive.
Cons Kanban board is the best way to keep track of tasks but makes it easy to lose track of stories that don't have individual tasks created on them.
