Managing projects shouldn’t feel like juggling 10 different tools.

Yet many teams still rely on a mix of spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages, and scattered task lists to keep projects running. The result? Missed deadlines, unclear responsibilities, and zero visibility into project progress.

This is where Odoo Project makes a difference.

Odoo Project gives teams a central workspace to manage tasks, track progress, collaborate, and monitor deadlines, all in one place.

Let’s look at some of the key features and how you can use them.

1. Task Management

At the heart of Odoo Project is task management. Instead of tracking work across emails or chats, every task lives inside the project.

How to use it

1. Go to Project Module.
2. Click Create Project.
3. Inside the project, click New Task.
4. Add:
5. • Task name
   • Assignee
   • Deadline
   • Description

Now every team member knows what needs to be done and by when.

2. Kanban Project Boards

Odoo organizes tasks using Kanban boards, making it easy to see project progress at a glance.

Typical stages include:

• To Do
• In Progress
• Review
• Done

How to use it

1. Open your Project Dashboard.
2. View tasks in Kanban view.
3. Simply drag and drop tasks between stages as work progresses.

This gives managers a real-time overview of project status.

3. Task Assignment & Collaboration

Each task can be assigned to specific team members, making responsibilities clear.

Team members can also collaborate directly inside the task.

How to use it

1. Open any task.
2. Assign it to a user.
3. Add comments in the Chatter section.
4. Upload files or documents if needed.

This keeps all communication in one place instead of scattered across tools.

4. Subtasks for Complex Work

Large tasks can be broken down into smaller subtasks to make them easier to manage.

How to use it

1. Open a task.
2. Click Add Subtask.
3. Assign each subtask to a team member.
4. Track progress individually.

This helps teams handle complex projects without losing structure.

5. Time Tracking

Odoo allows teams to track how much time is spent on each task.

This is especially useful for:

• service companies
• agencies
• billable projects.

How to use it

1. Open a task.
2. Click Start Timer.
3. Stop the timer when work is finished.
4. The time will be logged automatically.

Managers can then review how much time was spent across tasks and projects.
