1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,070
Welcome back everybody for another deep dive and this time we're taking a look at

2
00:00:05,070 --> 00:00:10,270
Taiga and this is a project management tool that's gaining some serious traction,

3
00:00:10,270 --> 00:00:12,360
you know, especially in the tech world, but also beyond.

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,440
Yeah, I've heard of it. It seems like there's a real buzz around it, especially

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,640
among, like you said, tech folks, but not just them, right?

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,430
Right. And the cool thing is that it's completely free. So, you know, it can help

7
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:28,920
anyone really kind of get a handle on their projects, big or small, and without

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,600
having to spend, you know, an arm and a leg.

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,240
Yeah, that's always a big plus. I mean, who doesn't love free, especially when it

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,360
comes to tools that can actually make a difference in how you work?

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,220
Definitely. So, you know, if you're, if you're thinking about kind of, you know,

12
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:46,070
taking control of your data and security, you know, with self hosting, stick around

13
00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:49,400
because we're going to be, we'll be touching on that a bit later too.

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,370
Oh yeah. Self hosting is a big topic these days, especially with all the data

15
00:00:52,370 --> 00:00:54,520
privacy concerns. Definitely worth exploring.

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,010
Absolutely. But, you know, before we dive into all that, big thanks to Safe Server

17
00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:00,760

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,920
Yes. Big shout out to Safe Server.

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,710

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,760
They're a great resource. Always good to have experts in your corner when you're

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,800
navigating, you know, the digital world.

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,440
Sure. But for now, let's let's jump into Taiga. And I'm curious, for those of us

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,670
who are maybe hearing about this for the first time, what exactly is Taiga and what

26
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:30,320
makes it so special?

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,370
So Taiga is essentially an open source project management platform. It's designed

28
00:01:36,370 --> 00:01:41,330
for agile teams. And it's like you said, completely free to use. And I think really

29
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:44,760
what makes it stand out is that it's super user friendly.

30
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,370
Okay, so when you say open source, does that mean like anyone can contribute to its

31
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:49,160
development?

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,970
Yeah, that's right. So, you know, it's constantly being improved by a community of

33
00:01:52,970 --> 00:01:56,610
developers. So, you know, you're always kind of getting the latest features and

34
00:01:56,610 --> 00:02:00,200
updates, and all that without like I said, without having to pay anything.

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,070
That's pretty cool. It's like, it's like having, you know, a team of developers

36
00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:06,280
constantly working to make the tool better.

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,240
Yeah, exactly. It's like having a continuous improvement loop. Yeah, built right in.

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,940
I like that. And I guess, you know, the question that comes to mind is if it's free,

39
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:19,820
can it really compete with, you know, those big, expensive project management tools

40
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:20,720
out there?

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,360
Well, I think, you know, the fact that it's used by, you know, literally millions

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,320
of people globally, including some really big companies kind of speaks for itself.

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,260
Oh, wow. I mean, that's impressive. If big companies are choosing Taiga over those,

44
00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:36,560
you know, expensive alternatives, there must be something really special about it.

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,870
Yeah, there's definitely something to it. And actually, it's interesting. The the

46
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:42,280
origin story of Taiga is kind of cool.

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Oh, yeah. Tell me more about that. Like, how did this whole thing even come about?

48
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,770
So basically, a group of developers, they were actually frustrated with, you know,

49
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:56,880
with the existing project management tools out there, they found them, you know, clunky

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,120
and expensive and not really

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,040
meeting their needs.

52
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,060
I can relate to that, like, so many tools promise the world, but then they're

53
00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:05,960
either super complicated, or they cost a fortune.

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,100
Exactly. So they decided to, you know, create something better, something that was

55
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:16,050
really intuitive and collaborative, and really truly embodied this whole this whole

56
00:03:16,050 --> 00:03:17,640
agile, you know, philosophy.

57
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,960
So they basically said, screw it, we'll build our own.

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,870
Pretty much. And it's pretty amazing to see what they've accomplished, you know,

59
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:27,560
starting from that, from that frustration and kind of, you know, that DIY spirit.

60
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:32,010
Yeah, I love that. So let's let's dive into, you know, what makes Taiga tick, like,

61
00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:35,240
what are some of the key features that really make it stand out?

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,660
Okay. So one of the things that makes Taiga so versatile, is that it supports

63
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:42,080
different project management styles.

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Okay, so it's not just a one size fits all kind of tool.

65
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,130
No, not at all. It caters to different approaches. And two of the most popular ones

66
00:03:49,130 --> 00:03:52,280
are Kanban and Scrum. Have you have you heard of those before?

67
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,190
I've definitely heard of Kanban. Like, I've seen those boards with the sticky notes,

68
00:03:56,190 --> 00:03:58,600
you know, moving things through different columns.

69
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,300
Yeah, exactly. So imagine, yeah, imagine a Kanban board as like, as like a giant

70
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:09,400
digital whiteboard, right, with sticky notes, and each sticky note represents a

71
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,160
task, and you move them across different columns as you progress through a project.

72
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,600
That's pretty cool way to visualize your workflow.

73
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,280
Yeah, and Taiga takes this, you know, this visual approach and makes it even more

74
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:24,850
powerful, you know, by letting you customize boards and break down tasks into

75
00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:29,600
smaller subtasks and even limit the number of tasks you can work on at once.

76
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,250
So it's like, you know, it's like having a digital whiteboard, but it's also kind

77
00:04:33,250 --> 00:04:36,740
of like, it keeps you from from getting overwhelmed by, you know, by too many

78
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:38,240
things at the same time.

79
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:42,030
Yeah, exactly. So, you know, it's about focus and making sure you're not spreading

80
00:04:42,030 --> 00:04:45,600
yourself too thin. We call these a VIP limits, which stands for working progress

81
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,840
limits, working progress limits.

82
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:51,200
Got it. Yeah. And then, you know, we've got Scrum, which is a bit more structured.

83
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,420
Yeah. I guess you could think of it like, like planning a sprint race, a sprint

84
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:57,400
race. Okay, I'm intrigued.

85
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,590
Yeah. So you set a goal for a short period, right, which we call a sprint. And you

86
00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:05,320
work in these like, you know, really focused bursts to reach that goal.

87
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,080
I see. So it's all about like intense bursts of activity, kind of like a sprint.

88
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,220
Exactly. And Taiga helps you, you know, plan these sprints and track your progress

89
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:19,160
with like cool burn down charts, and even estimate how long each task will take.

90
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,980
Okay, so it's like, it's like having a coach, you know, cheering you on and, you

91
00:05:22,980 --> 00:05:24,320
know, keeping you on track.

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,820
Exactly. It's like having that extra support and motivation to help you reach the

93
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:28,560
finish line.

94
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,190
I like that. So we've got visual boards, we've got sprint planning, it's quite a

95
00:05:33,190 --> 00:05:38,350
lot packed into this free tool. But what about, you know, those inevitable hiccups

96
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:41,440
that happen during a project? Like, how does Taiga handle those?

97
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,050
Right. So that's where Taiga's issue tracking system comes in. It lets you, you know,

98
00:05:46,050 --> 00:05:51,390
log and categorize and prioritize any problems that pop up, kind of like making

99
00:05:51,390 --> 00:05:53,840
like a to do list, but for fixing things.

100
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:57,600
A to do list for fixing things. I like that. It's like a bug tracker, right?

101
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,350
Yeah, exactly. You can even turn those problems into what we call user stories,

102
00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:07,220
which are basically like detailed descriptions of, you know, of what needs to be

103
00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:08,680
done to resolve an issue.

104
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,540
So it's about like making sure that that nothing slips through the cracks, that

105
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:15,200
everything is documented, everything is tracked.

106
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,880
Exactly. And it ensures that everyone's on the same page when it comes to

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,280
addressing, you know, those those inevitable bumps in the road.

108
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,480
It's essential. So OK, we've got the visual boards, we've got the sprint planning,

109
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,960
we've got the issue tracking. But how do you get, you know, a bird's eye view of

110
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,920
like how the project is actually going?

111
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Does Taiga have like reporting tools?

112
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,340
It does. It offers these insightful dashboards where you can track team performance,

113
00:06:41,340 --> 00:06:45,210
you know, see how the project is progressing over time and even generate custom

114
00:06:45,210 --> 00:06:46,000
reports.

115
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,670
OK, so it's not just about managing the task, but also about getting those insights

116
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:52,480
into like, you know, how the project's actually performing.

117
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,710
Exactly. It's about data driven decision making. You know, you need those insights

118
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:59,680
to make informed choices and adjustments as you go.

119
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,990
That makes a lot of sense. And I imagine this is just like, you know, scratching

120
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:05,920
the surface of what Taiga can do.

121
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,950
You're right. There's so much more to explore. But one thing I do want to highlight

122
00:07:09,950 --> 00:07:14,720
is how customizable it is. You can tailor it to your specific needs, you know,

123
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,080
whether you're a small team or a

124
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,240
large organization.

125
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,910
Okay, so it's flexible, you can kind of like adapt it to your own, you know, way of

126
00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:22,600
working.

127
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,660
Exactly. You can define different user roles and permissions, create custom stages

128
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:32,280
in your workflow, and even integrate with other tools you might already be using.

129
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,810
Oh, wow. So it's not like a it's not like a closed system, you can actually kind of

130
00:07:35,810 --> 00:07:38,120
plug it into your existing, you know, tech stack.

131
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,490
Exactly. It plays well with others. And speaking of customization, you know, I know

132
00:07:42,490 --> 00:07:46,480
you're a big proponent of self hosting, and Taiga offers that option as well.

133
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,440
Yeah, self hosting is something I'm really interested in, especially, you know,

134
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,080
these days where data security is such a big concern.

135
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,340
Right. And that's where self hosting Taiga really shines, you know, gives you

136
00:07:57,340 --> 00:08:01,870
complete control over your information, you know, who has access to it, where it's

137
00:08:01,870 --> 00:08:03,720
stored, and how it's protected.

138
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,780
So it's like, you know, having your own your own little data fortress, I guess,

139
00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:09,880
where you where you control everything.

140
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,210
Exactly. And for businesses or individuals who are, you know, who are really

141
00:08:14,210 --> 00:08:18,720
concerned about, about privacy and data security, it's, it's a game changer.

142
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,870
I bet. And that's where that's where safe server comes in, right? Like they can

143
00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:25,170
help with the with the technical side of self hosting and, you know, make sure

144
00:08:25,170 --> 00:08:27,240
everything is, you know, safe and sound.

145
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,170
Exactly. They've got the expertise and the infrastructure to make it all super

146
00:08:31,170 --> 00:08:35,000
smooth so you can focus on, you know, what matters most managing your projects

147
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
effectively.

148
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,570
Awesome. So we've covered a lot of ground, you know, talking about the features and

149
00:08:39,570 --> 00:08:43,890
the flexibility. But, you know, I'm always curious to hear what like actual users

150
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:45,760
have to say about their experience.

151
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,440
Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, features are one thing, but it's the real world impact

152
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,000
that really matters.

153
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,510
Exactly. So have you have you come across any like interesting stories or testimonials

154
00:08:57,510 --> 00:08:59,840
from people who are who are using Taiga?

155
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,530
Yeah, actually, we have we spoke to a new business director, and he actually

156
00:09:04,530 --> 00:09:08,920
described his team's adoption of Taiga as like a 180 degree change.

157
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Whoa, 180 degree change. That's, that's pretty. Yeah, it was huge shift for them.

158
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,860
They went from, you know, feeling stressed and overwhelmed to feeling organized and

159
00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:18,560
in control.

160
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,350
So it sounds like Taiga really helped them, you know, kind of like, we gained that

161
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:25,800
sense of control over their projects.

162
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,750
Absolutely. And what he highlighted was how, you know, Taiga's intuitive design and

163
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:33,500
collaborative features really helped them streamline communication, improve

164
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:37,320
workflow, and ultimately, you know, deliver projects more efficiently.

165
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,530
That's great. So it's not just about, you know, getting things done, but it's also

166
00:09:40,530 --> 00:09:43,450
about doing them in a way that's, that's less stressful, you know, and more

167
00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:44,360
collaborative.

168
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,790
Exactly. And we also spoke to a consultant who emphasized how Taiga really supports

169
00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:53,250
this agile form of working, which is, you know, so crucial in today's fast paced,

170
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:55,200
you know, digital environment.

171
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Yeah, I can see that. Like being able to adapt quickly, you know, to changing

172
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,180
priorities and collaborate, you know, seamlessly with others is essential for any

173
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:05,280
team, really.

174
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,040
Absolutely. It's not just about tech teams. It's about any team that needs to be,

175
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360
you know, nimble and responsive in today's world.

176
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,760
Right. And that actually brings up an interesting point. You know, our listeners

177
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,360
might be thinking, okay, this sounds great for software developers, but, you know,

178
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,280
I'm a writer, I'm a teacher, I'm an entrepreneur. Like, how is this relevant to me?

179
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Yeah, I think that's a really important question to address. And it's a common

180
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,400
misconception that agile is only for software development.

181
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,520
It's like people hear agile and they immediately think coding.

182
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,570
Exactly. But the truth is that these agile principles, you know, this flexibility,

183
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:44,520
collaboration, iterative progress can be applied to virtually any kind of project.

184
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,950
So like, whether you're writing a book or planning a marketing campaign, or even

185
00:10:48,950 --> 00:10:53,160
organizing like a family vacation, you know, Taiga's features can still be super

186
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:53,920
helpful.

187
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,810
Absolutely. It's about breaking down complex projects into smaller, manageable

188
00:10:58,810 --> 00:11:03,490
tasks, tracking your progress and collaborating effectively, no matter what you're

189
00:11:03,490 --> 00:11:04,440
working on.

190
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,130
I love that. It's like, you know, it's like, it's like it's taking these these

191
00:11:08,130 --> 00:11:11,920
principles from the tech world and applying them to, you know, to life in general.

192
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,990
Exactly. It's about working smarter, not harder, and finding tools that support

193
00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:16,760
that approach.

194
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,470
Couldn't agree more. But let's let's bring it back to Tiger self-hosting

195
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:24,180
capabilities for a moment. You know, I know security is a top concern for a lot of

196
00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:28,040
people, especially when you're dealing with sensitive project data.

197
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,910
For sure. And that's where self-hosting Tiger really shines. You know, you have

198
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:36,850
that complete control over your data. You choose where it's stored, who has access,

199
00:11:36,850 --> 00:11:40,800
how it's managed. It's like having your own digital fortress for your projects.

200
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,620
And and with save server as your guide, that fortress is an expert hands.

201
00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:49,350
Absolutely. They make the whole process seamless and secure. That's fantastic. So,

202
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:53,450
you know, we've covered a lot of ground here. We've explored what Tiger is, why it's

203
00:11:53,450 --> 00:11:57,670
gaining popularity, how its features can be applied to, you know, a wide range of

204
00:11:57,670 --> 00:12:01,030
projects. Yeah, it's been a great overview. But before we before we wrap up this

205
00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:05,430
first part, I want to leave our listener with something to ponder something to, you

206
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:10,600
know, maybe kind of spark some ideas. Okay, I'm all ears. So the question is,

207
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,280
what project in your life could benefit from, you know, from a more agile approach

208
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,720
and a tool like Tiger?

209
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,640
Ooh, it's a good one. It's a question worth reflecting on for sure.

210
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,140
Yeah, it could be that side hustle you've been dreaming of launching or a creative

211
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:28,760
project that's been, you know, stuck in the

212
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,720
planning phase, or even just, you know, finding a better way to organize your daily

213
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,400
tasks. It's about thinking differently about how we

214
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,000
approach, you know, the things we want to achieve.

215
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,880
Absolutely. And the beauty of agile and tools like Tiger is that, you know, they

216
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,600
empower you to break down those those overwhelming

217
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,290
projects into manageable steps. And, you know, prioritize effectively and adapt to

218
00:12:50,290 --> 00:12:51,320
changes as you go.

219
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,930
Exactly. And that's what this whole deep dive is all about exploring new ways of

220
00:12:55,930 --> 00:12:58,560
working, finding tools that can help us be more

221
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,560
effective and, you know, ultimately achieve our goals.

222
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:04,440
Couldn't have said it better myself. Yeah, it's all about that continuous learning

223
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,440
and improvement journey. Yeah, yeah, it really is. And

224
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,120
what's what's even more interesting is that these principles can be applied to so

225
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,360
many different types of projects.

226
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,800
It's not just about software development, right? That's what I was thinking.

227
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,420
Our listener might be wondering, OK, this all sounds great, but I'm not, you know,

228
00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:20,520
building the next big app.

229
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,400
I'm writing a book, planning a wedding, starting a business.

230
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,160
How can Taiga help me? Yeah, I think that's a brilliant question.

231
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:32,140
And it really highlights one of the, you know, biggest misconceptions about agile

232
00:13:32,140 --> 00:13:33,560
project management.

233
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,380
It's often seen as this tech exclusive thing, but the truth is, you know, it's

234
00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:39,480
incredibly versatile.

235
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,440
Think about it. Even planning a wedding.

236
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,830
I mean, you've got multiple tasks, deadlines, collaboration with different people,

237
00:13:46,830 --> 00:13:49,520
all things that Taiga can help you manage more effectively.

238
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,320
Right, right. So it's not just about, you know, coding and sprints.

239
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,090
It's about breaking down any complex project into smaller, more manageable steps

240
00:13:59,090 --> 00:14:01,520
and being able to adapt to changes along the way.

241
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,070
Exactly. Imagine you're writing a book, for example, you can use Taiga's Kanban

242
00:14:06,070 --> 00:14:11,620
board to visualize each chapter, track your progress and even create subtasks for

243
00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:16,350
research, outlining, writing, editing can really help you stay organized, motivated

244
00:14:16,350 --> 00:14:17,160
and on track.

245
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,810
Okay, I'm starting to see the light here. It's like having a superpower to do list,

246
00:14:21,810 --> 00:14:25,080
you know, visual collaborative keeps you on track.

247
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,340
Precisely. And remember, Taiga is free to use. So you can try it out and see if it

248
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:32,120
works for you without any financial risk. There's there's really nothing to lose.

249
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Yeah, that's a huge plus, especially for someone like me who's always, you know,

250
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,670
trying new tools and workflows. But before we wrap up, I want to circle back to

251
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:43,620
self hosting for a moment for our listeners who are, you know, particularly

252
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:48,610
concerned about data security. Can you explain a bit more about the benefits of

253
00:14:48,610 --> 00:14:48,760
self

254
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,230
hosting, Taiga? Of course. So with self hosting, you have complete control over your

255
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:59,820
data. It's like having your own private vault where you store all your valuable

256
00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:05,240
information. You decide who has access, where it's stored, and how it's protected.

257
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,840
It's particularly important for projects that involve, you know, sensitive

258
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,520
information like financial data or personal details.

259
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,160
Right. So it's like having the keys to your own data kingdom, I guess.

260
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,820
Exactly. You're in the driver's seat. I love that. And for those who might be

261
00:15:18,820 --> 00:15:22,560
intimidated by the, you know, the technical aspects of self hosting, I'm assuming

262
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Safe Server can help with that.

263
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,730
Absolutely. That's where Safe Server's expertise comes in. You know, they provide

264
00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:32,770
all the support and infrastructure you need to set up and manage your self hosted

265
00:15:32,770 --> 00:15:36,280
Taiga instance, ensuring that your data is secure and accessible.

266
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,060
That's fantastic. It takes a lot of the pressure off knowing that you have, you

267
00:15:40,060 --> 00:15:43,530
know, experts to guide you through that process. So we've covered a lot of ground

268
00:15:43,530 --> 00:15:47,790
today, you know, from the basics of Taiga to the power of self hosting. But I want

269
00:15:47,790 --> 00:15:49,880
to leave our listener with one final thought.

270
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,760
Okay, I'm all ears. What's on your mind?

271
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,220
What if we challenge the assumption that that Taiga is just a tool for for techies?

272
00:15:57,220 --> 00:16:01,220
What if we see it as a tool for anyone who wants to bring more organization,

273
00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:05,710
collaboration and flexibility to their projects, no matter what those projects

274
00:16:05,710 --> 00:16:06,600
might be?

275
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,360
I love that challenge. Because it's it's so true. Taiga is a powerful tool for

276
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,770
anyone who wants to, you know, work smarter, not harder. It's about breaking down

277
00:16:14,770 --> 00:16:19,330
those mental barriers and realizing that agile principles can be applied to, you

278
00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:21,000
know, almost anything we do in life.

279
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,080
Exactly. Whether you're, you know, planning a family vacation, writing a novel,

280
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,820
launching a business or even just, you know, trying to get a handle on your daily

281
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:33,280
to do list. Taiga can help you break down those, you know, sometimes overwhelming

282
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,360
tasks into manageable steps, prioritize effectively and adapt to changes along the

283
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:39,800
way.

284
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,040
And remember, the beauty of Taiga is that it's free to experiment with. You can give

285
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,860
it a try, explore its features and see how it fits into your workflow without any

286
00:16:47,860 --> 00:16:49,360
financial commitment.

287
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,930
Yeah, that's the spirit. Embrace the agile mindset, experiment and discover what

288
00:16:54,930 --> 00:16:56,240
works best for you.

289
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,770

295
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,360
embrace a more agile way of working.

296
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:23,820
Absolutely. So until our next deep dive, keep those projects moving, stay agile,

297
00:17:23,820 --> 00:17:27,360
and remember, there's always a better way to work.

298
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:30,810
Yeah, I love that. It's about kind of empowering ourselves to take control of our

299
00:17:30,810 --> 00:17:35,690
projects and find a way of working that really fits our individual needs and styles

300
00:17:35,690 --> 00:17:40,840
and, you know, who knows, maybe by embracing a more agile approach, we'll discover

301
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,080
new levels of creativity and productivity we never thought possible.

302
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,340
Absolutely. It's all about breaking free from those, you know, rigid traditional

303
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:54,480
ways of thinking and embracing a more flexible, adaptable mindset and Taiga provides

304
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,920
the perfect platform to experiment and find what works best for you.

305
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Yeah. And with the option to, you know, self-host through a provider like Safe

00:18:12,420 --> 00:18:14,040
know, under your control.

309
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:19,010

Couldn't agree more. Self-hosting can seem, you know, daunting at first, but with

313
00:18:31,150 --> 00:18:34,570
the right support, it's a game changer, especially for those who, you know,

314

prioritize data privacy and control.

315
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,350
Well said. So as we wrap up this deep dive into the world of Taiga, I want to leave

316
00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:44,000
our listeners with one final thought.

317
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,320
Remember, it's not just about the tool itself. It's about the philosophy behind it.

318
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,450
It's about embracing a more agile way of working, a way of thinking that empowers

319
00:18:52,450 --> 00:18:57,600
you to be more flexible, more collaborative, and more responsive to change.

320
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,030
And who knows, maybe by adopting a more agile approach, you'll unlock new levels of

321
00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:06,720
creativity, efficiency, and even enjoyment in your work and personal projects.

322
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,510
Exactly. It's all about finding what works best for you and continuously iterating

323
00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:13,360
and improving along the way.

324
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:17,490
So until our next deep dive, stay curious, stay agile, and keep those projects

325
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:18,160
moving.
