# Taiga

## Description

[Taiga](https://www.taiga.io/) is a powerful and intuitive open-source project management platform tailored for agile teams. Whether you're practicing Scrum, Kanban, or a custom hybrid workflow, Taiga offers a rich, customizable environment to plan, track, and collaborate on your projects — without the complexity of enterprise tools or the vendor lock-in of SaaS platforms.

This Ansible role deploys Taiga in a Docker-based environment, allowing fast, reproducible, and secure installations. It also optionally integrates [OpenID Connect (OIDC)](https://openid.net/connect/) for single sign-on via providers like Keycloak.
