Insighty + Taiga:
agile delivery, plus the financial layer

Taiga is exceptional at open-source agile project management
This is not a "switch away from Taiga" argument. Taiga is a well-built agile tool that teams genuinely love for its clean design and straightforward sprint workflow.

Burndown charts and velocity tracking

Free for public projects
Completely free for open and public projects, making it a popular choice for open-source development teams.
The questions Taiga cannot answer for agency owners
Taiga knows everything about sprints and agile delivery. It knows nothing about the financial reality of the work being delivered.
"Which clients have maintenance contracts due for invoicing this month?"
Taiga tracks sprints and issues, not billing cycles or client contract values.
"What is total agency revenue committed for the next quarter?"
Taiga has no pipeline, forecast, or revenue model.
"Are retainer clients consuming more than their monthly allocation?"
Taiga tracks stories and tasks, not billable hours against a contract ceiling.
"Which hosting and domain renewals are falling through the cracks?"
Infrastructure management is completely outside Taiga's model.
What each tool handles
Different tools, different jobs. The overlap is minimal by design.
