Show HN: Open-Source, Free, Agile Project Management Tool

Taiga.io hit #1 on @HackerNewsYCBot for a while today (thanks HN!). Traffic up 100x. I was dumb enough to ask our developers if we could handle it. This is what they sent back<p><a href="http://goo.gl/B57ERn" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;goo.gl&#x2F;B57ERn</a><p>Each little &quot;ball&quot; is a request to the server On the left: the IP numbers from the users connecting around the world To the right: The url&#x27;s being served up In the center: The &quot;static calls being serviced by our front end<p>The brightness represents the speed with which the code written by our awesome developers delivers data (aided of course the great hardware)<p>Had any of the balls gone past to the right, that would have been a serve we couldn&#x27;t return. Try that, Federer!

They have a CLI interface in addition to the web interface. That&#x27;s a refreshing feature.<p>They also have a vagrant box which you can use to take it for a spin until the live instance is ready.<p><a href="https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-ncurses" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;taigaio&#x2F;taiga-ncurses</a><p><a href="https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-vagrant" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;taigaio&#x2F;taiga-vagrant</a>

The kanban approach is quite similar to Odoo Project.<p>You can test the online demo: <a href="http://bit.ly/1CGha87" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;1CGha87</a><p>The Odoo Project website: <a href="https://www.odoo.com/page/project-management" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.odoo.com&#x2F;page&#x2F;project-management</a><p>And the github page: <a href="https://github.com/odoo/odoo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;odoo&#x2F;odoo</a><p>Some of the features I like in Odoo project: email gateway, pivot table reporting, cross-project tasks or reporting, timesheet integration.

Looks interesting, but I couldn&#x27;t keep the site open for long because it was eating both of my two CPU cores.<p>Firefox 32.0.3 on Ubuntu<p>About 62 % of time is spent in FFS.CanvasRenderer.prototype.render()

Trying to create a project, but it fails silently in Safari 7.1.

Looks nice so far. Looking forward to the &quot;live instance&quot;, assuming it will be a pre-populated project showing off all of the functionality.<p>I manage multiple concurrent projects, and I don&#x27;t see an overview of open issues across projects. Am I missing that, or are there plans to add that?

Nice. Clean layout. Much prettier than jira.<p>When viewing a story, it&#x27;d be nice to be able to change the status without going into edit mode. Or something like a transition (aka how mingle does it) to say &quot;start work&quot; or &quot;done with testing&quot;

Looks nice, Looking forward to the live demo :)<p>We&#x27;re currently employing OpenProject[1], a Chili&#x2F;Redmine fork with extensive Agile&#x2F;Scrum[2] functionality. Despite all valid points against Redmine being bloated, it provides many features often lacking elsewhere (Auth Providers such as LDAP &#x2F; Single-Sign On, Plugins).<p>[1] <a href="http://openproject.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;openproject.org&#x2F;</a> [2] <a href="https://www.openproject.org/projects/openproject/wiki/Agile_Teams" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openproject.org&#x2F;projects&#x2F;openproject&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Agile_...</a>

Also worth checking out is Bugs:<p><a href="http://pixeline.github.io/bugs/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pixeline.github.io&#x2F;bugs&#x2F;</a><p>Issue management, Kanban board, extremely simple to setup (Apache, MySQL).

Concerning your: &quot;the Project Management Tools that are out there weren&#x27;t making us happy. In fact we hated the whole lot of them. Bloated, slow, ugly to look at and unintuitive, we just couldn&#x27;t stand the sight of them a moment longer.&quot; How does your project relate to <a href="http://92fiveapp.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;92fiveapp.com&#x2F;</a> which was posted here some time ago in a somewhat similar vein?

Some of the text on the home page is extremely light. It makes it hard to read against the white background. From a designing standpoint I would suggest to darken that text up a bit. The &quot;Did we say free...&quot; text is also hard to read. Maybe put one of those transparent black boxes behind it?

This looks super interesting, thank you very much for working on it, I think you&#x27;re doing a great thing by making it open source. :) It&#x27;s really frustrating that the tools we use for planning (e.g. Trello) generally aren&#x27;t modifiable.

Looks great, can&#x27;t wait to see the demo, and the acknowledgement of entering an already crowded space. Personally I think many of the tools that are out there right now could very very easily be out-performed by an open source tool.<p>I sometimes wonder if killing another company&#x27;s revenue by creating an open-source tool (that is as-good or better, which you generally strive to) is moral&#x2F;ethical... I know it&#x27;s not bad, but feels kind of weird to take their lunch<p>Little nitpick -- the &quot;In Beta&quot; stripe in the top left doesn&#x27;t really mesh with the rest of your style choices (neither in font choice, tone, etc)...<p>I like the designs so far -- most of the sections look pretty good

First off, really slick interface and seemingly very full featured beta!<p>I am a little confused on the Scrum Sprint Taskboard vs Kanban board. We use a combination of the two with a Kanban board being the Sprint backlog&#x2F;board. It seems there is no easy way to move cards when viewing the Sprint Taskboard and when enabling the Kanban module in the project, yes the Kanban board is usable for the tasks&#x2F;stories but the columns in the two are not in sync. Maybe we&#x27;re doing it wrong, but how should a team move the stories through to done during a sprint?

The task board and sprint planing looks really good (even if it seems that they mix up two different methods with Kanban &amp; SCRUM). I wish github would provide similar functionality out of the box.

The project seems really nice, the import from redmine is very much appreciated, especially as most of people who may be interested to use this application are likely to already use something, and will therefore need something to make the migration painless<p>I&#x27;ve seen there&#x27;s a ncurses client, would it be possible to also have a full CLI one too. The rational behind would be that this way linking my git repository and taiga would be as simple as changing my hook script to use this CLI tool, same for the CI scripts

Why is it always the thing I needed yesterday is on HN today?<p>I went with DoneDone (<a href="http://www.getdonedone.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.getdonedone.com&#x2F;</a>)

This looks great at first.<p>We will see if the flow is useful to enough people and if it&#x27;s worth paying vs other options available right now. Project management software is hard as there are so many different way of dealing with projects.<p>Also, I hope it works great on mobile or it&#x27;s in the plan, otherwise it might be a deal breaker.<p>Also, I think I like the fact it&#x27;s open source with a paid hosting if we want. Let&#x27;s see how they deal with that on the long term.

It looks very nice and easy to use. Question though. Do you have something for Epics like in Jira, or a way to create sub-projects for a project?

Is there any such tool (free or not) that integrates with GitHub and it is ready to use?<p>It would be great to not maintain 2 issues list, 2 milestones etc.

Looks very promising. I like the idea focusing on Kanban and Scrum and not making to work on everything and that way turning to too complicated.<p>Angular needs some optimization obviously or maybe the server is just slow? It would be cool to see text complete when writing users stories. Like: As a... Also, poker planning and retrospective tools would be nice to see.

Having worked on some agile project management tools, it seems that the space has an unusually high number of customer requests for slight variations&#x2F;customizations. I am very optimistic about an open source implementation if it allows users to easily adjust the product to meet their specific needs. Best of luck!

Looks beautiful. Our workflow however requires us to view multiple projects under one backlog&#x2F;workboard. I can&#x27;t seem to find a way to do that, which is a bummer because this is a really neat looking tool.

The &quot;IN BETA&quot; ribbon is using a serif font, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s done on purpose. TMHO it breaks the overall visual consistency of the page.

Am I the only one who thinks anyone that talks about software development methods(agile, scrum, etc) is trying to pull a fast one on you?

Trying to create a project on iOS gave me no love. Possibly this is related to the existing safari issue someone already mentioned.

The splash page is pretty enough in a generic sort of way, but nothing works with JavaScript disabled, which is quite unfortunate.

Been using Taiga since it showed up on here. It&#x27;s fantastic!<p>My only complaint is that I can&#x27;t edit comments XD

The &quot;open live instance&quot; doesn&#x27;t do anything for me. Tried Firefox and Chromium.

Does this have some kind of git integration? Like linking to commits&#x2F;branches

I can dig it. Seems a little choppy, but what&#x27;evs. It&#x27;s Free!

Is there any plan to add any features for the accounting of a project?

Are there any plans to add git branch&#x2F;commit intergration?

&quot;Free Agile&quot; read &quot;Fragile&quot;

Any examples of the video conferencing feature?

Why do you offer only cloud based?

Is it possible to change the font? It is so, narrow and tall.<p>Something else I&#x27;d like to see. Make empty columns more narrow when empty to preserve space when it can be done.<p>A bit off topic, but does there exists any app for these things native to OSX? I don&#x27;t like these web-interfaces.
