Odoo Project Management Module

This is a custom-built project management module for the Odoo ERP platform. It provides a straightforward system for managing projects, tasks, and stages from within Odoo.

Features

• Project Management: Create and manage projects, assigning project managers and tracking start and end dates.
• Task Management: Organize tasks within projects, assign them to users, and set priorities and deadlines.
• Customizable Stages: Define unique stages for task workflows (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Review, Done).
• Kanban View: Visualize task progress in a Kanban-style board, with tasks grouped by stage.
• Progress Tracking: Task progress is automatically updated based on its stage.
• Deadline Reminders: Automatically schedules a "Deadline Reminder" activity for tasks with a set deadline.
• Chatter Integration: Tracks changes and facilitates communication on projects and tasks through Odoo's chatter feature.
• Access Control: Permissions are configured to control which users can create, view, edit, or delete projects and tasks.

Models

The module is built around three core models:

• Project (project.management): The main container for tasks. Each project has a name, description, project manager, and related tasks.
• Stage (project.task.stage): Represents a single stage in the task workflow. Stages are sortable and can be designated as a "folded" or "done" state in the Kanban view.
• Task (project.task.management): The individual work items that belong to a project. Each task has a description, assigned user, priority, and is associated with a specific stage.
