Taiga: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Taiga is an open-source project management tool for cross-functional agile teams. It offers Kanban boards with swimlanes and WIP limits, Scrum features such as backlog, sprint planning and burndown charts, issue and bug tracking, a wiki and dashboards. Roles, permissions, stages and fields can be customised, and the interface is available in more than twenty languages. Taiga can be used as a cloud service or self-hosted on your own servers.

Taiga originated at Kaleidos, a software company in Madrid, and is released under the AGPL. The cloud service tree.taiga.io has been operated since 1 March 2024 by Taiga Cloud Services S.L., a Spanish company; the privacy policy likewise names two Spanish joint controllers. According to the operator, its servers are in the EU: at the time of its announcement in Ireland, with a planned move to its own servers in Madrid. Self-hosting keeps all data on your own servers.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Taiga

Taiga is headquartered in ES and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Taiga scores best on data residency.

Taiga is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Taiga together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
