taigaio/taiga-back

← Building the product

In simple English

This tool is the server side of Taiga, which is a popular project management board. It handles user accounts, tasks, and data storage behind the scenes. You need this repository if you want to run your own private project management server. It is free software, but you will need technical skills to set it up and keep it running.

What it is

This repository contains the Python-based backend code and API for the Taiga project management system. It processes requests from the user interface and talks to the database.

What it is good for

Solo builders and teams who want to host their own agile project boards on a private server instead of paying for a hosted service.
