The Odoo Project module is ideal for efficiently managing all types of projects and project-related activities. The efficient tools in this module make it simple to establish new projects, track their progress, break them into subtasks, allocate them to employees, and perform a variety of other tasks. This module would be a clever option for project management in your business. This module will provide you with a thorough overview of all ongoing projects and will assist you in obtaining up-to-date information about the configured projects.

The dashboard shows all of the projects that have been created in this module. You may categorize these projects using the Filters and Group By options, which include both default and configurable options. On this platform, projects are organized in separate tabs with information about the project's name and customer. These tabs display the number of tasks assigned to each project. It will also show how many hours are left to finish the project.

As seen in the figure above, each project has little dots of various colors. These colored dots indicate whether or not the project is on track, off track, blocked, or in jeopardy. You can utilize the little clock icon on each project tab to plan tasks related to the project.

To view Tasks, Timesheets, Sales Orders, Planning, and Project Update, click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner of each project. In this menu, you'll also find Reporting choices, which will allow you to create reports on Tasks Analysis, Burndown Charts, Timesheets, and Planning Analysis.

This page allows you to add Sales Order Items for allocated personnel to which their timesheet entries will be appended.
