Watch out for:

  • Self-hosted importers can hit gunicorn worker timeouts when listing Asana projects; the community fix is raising --timeout on the taiga-back container in docker-compose (April 2024 thread) community.taiga.io
  • User import is not automatic per Taiga's docs: create users first; matching is case-sensitive on email community.taiga.io
  • A hands-on reviewer reports the Asana import 'did not work' on their first attempt community.taiga.io

From each destination's own migration docs and switching pages, plus community write-ups where no official guide exists, each checked against its page. Confirm terms on the linked page before you rely on an offer.
