Taiga SDLC process
=======================



1. Planning and Requirements Gathering (Analysis)
------------------------------------------------------

After creating a project, you may want to activate "Epics" which can represent larger 
goals. To do this, go into settings and click the Epics switch under Modules

This gives you access to the Epics tab, which now allows you to create a new Epics

Another thing you can do is create user stories which can help give you an idea of 
how much work needs to be done

Lastly, you can create a wiki page to detail anything you need

2. Design
-------------

For design, you can use the user stories and wiki similar to the previous step 
to mark down any more information needed

3. Development and Coding
-----------------------------

For development and coding, you can create "sprints" which allow you to track individual 
tasks. To create one, go to the scrum tab and click "add"

This will create a new sub-tab which can be used to keep track of progress

You can also link your Taiga to GitHub or other sites using the integrations 
section in settings.

4. Testing and Quality Assurance (QA)
------------------------------------------

For testing, you can visit the issues tab on the side. Here you can create any new issue 
or bug you come across. Simply press the "New Issue" button

You can also add new tasks and drag the blocks along the line to mark progress

Lastly, if you enable "Kanban" in settings, you can keep track of the status for 
all the items, which can make keeping track easier

5. Deployment and Maintenance (Operations)
-----------------------------------------------

Lastly for deployment and maintenance, you can move your finished user stories into the 
current sprint

This will make them show up on your User Story tab. If they're marked as "Done," then you 
can see the progress being made on the top tab
