Assessment notes

Taiga is the open-source agile project-management platform operated by Kaleidos (Madrid, Spain; founded 2014), released under Mozilla Public License 2.0 with the full server-side stack available on GitHub for self-host on any EU infrastructure: Scrum, Kanban, issue tracking, customisable dashboards; the hosted tier (tree.taiga.io) provides the managed alternative for teams who don't want to operate the stack themselves. Self-hosting on EU infrastructure gives the customer full data control with no CLOUD Act exposure; the managed-cloud tier is EU-owned with a public DPA and ES-only named sub-processors (verified 2026-05-18), hosted at the Interxion MAD3 datacentre in Madrid, where Digital Realty/Interxion acts only as the physical colocation landlord with no logical access to customer data and no US-owned hyperscaler sits in the customer-data path, so under a customer-data-at-rest definition CLOUD Act exposure is none.

About Taiga

Taiga is the open-source agile project-management platform operated by Kaleidos, a Madrid-based Spanish software cooperative that built and continues to maintain the project since 2014. The platform is positioned as the open-source Jira / Linear / Clickup alternative: Scrum sprints, Kanban boards, issue tracking, customisable dashboards, video-call integrations, and a wiki module, all under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 with the full server-side code on GitHub. Taiga is widely used in EU public administrations, universities, and open-source-friendly engineering teams.

Two deployment paths are offered. Self-hosted on the customer's own infrastructure (Hetzner / OVHcloud / Scaleway / private DC) makes the customer the sole data controller and operator, with no CLOUD Act exposure. The managed cloud at tree.taiga.io is the alternative for teams who prefer not to run the stack themselves; the managed tier runs from the Interxion MAD3 datacentre in Madrid, where Digital Realty/Interxion is only the physical colocation landlord with no logical access to customer data and no US-owned hyperscaler sits in the customer-data path, so under a customer-data-at-rest definition its CLOUD Act exposure is none. The combination of MPL-2.0 licensing and a Spanish-owned operating cooperative makes Taiga the strongest agile / Scrum entry on this directory.

Pricing for the managed cloud is charged per account with unlimited users rather than per seat: Free covers one public and one private project with 10 MB; Enthusiast €5/month or €50/year covers five public and five private projects with 100 MB; Basic is €20/month or €200/year and Premium €60/month or €600/year, both with unlimited projects; Private Cloud and On-Premise are by quote. Best fit: EU public-sector procurement, universities, open-source-aligned engineering teams, and any organisation that wants a Jira replacement under EU jurisdiction and AGPL-style open governance.
