Project management
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Odoo Project uses the **Kanban** project management system. This means all projects are broken down
|
|
into tasks, which are categorized on a whiteboard according to what production phase they are in.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Did you know?
|
|
|
|
The word **Kanban** comes from Japanese and refers to the "visual board" management method.

Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Open the **Project** app and click :guilabel:`Create` to start a new project. Enter a
|
|
:guilabel:`Name` for your project and click :guilabel:`Create Project`.
|
|
|
|
You can customize your existing **projects** from the dashboard by clicking the drop-down toggle
|
|
button (:guilabel:`⋮`) on your project's **card**.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: project_management/project-settings.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
:alt: Project card
|
|
|
|
This enables a new menu divided into four parts:
|
|
|
|
- :guilabel:`View`: see an overview of your project's components, such as its :guilabel:`Tasks`,
|
|
:guilabel:`Milestones` and :guilabel:`Project Updates`. Depending on which apps you have
|
|
activated, more options may be available, such as :guilabel:`Documents`. All uploaded files can be
|
|
found under this menu, as well as in the **Documents** app, under :guilabel:`Projects`;
|
|
- :guilabel:`Reporting`: analyze your project's progress and profitability through graphics and
|
|
statistics;
|
|
- **Color**: make a line of color appear on the left side of the card so that your project is more
|
|
recognizable;
|
|
- :guilabel:`Settings`: you can change the following:
|
|
|
|
- the :guilabel:`Name` of the project;
|
|
- the :guilabel:`Name of the tasks` found under that project;
|
|
- the :guilabel:`Customer` for whom the project is intended;
|
|
- the :guilabel:`Tags` used for filtering;
|
|
- the :guilabel:`Company` responsible for the project;
|
|
- the employee designated as :guilabel:`Project Manager`;
|
|
- the :guilabel:`Planned Date` of the project;
|
|
- the total :guilabel:`Allocated Hours` for that project.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can mark the project as :guilabel:`Favorite`, allowing you to find it using the
|
|
:guilabel:`My Favorites` filter on the Kanban view;

|
|
|
|
Further settings are available under the :guilabel:`Settings` tab. Most of them are *only* available
|
|
depending on the activated apps.
|
|
|
|
Scheduling activities
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
You can schedule **activities** (ex. :guilabel:`Call`, :guilabel:`Meeting`, etc.) per project by
|
|
clicking on the **clock** icon on a project. Doing so opens a list with already scheduled activities
|
|
and allows planning **new** activities by clicking :guilabel:`+ Schedule an activity`. On the pop-up
|
|
window, select the :guilabel:`Activity Type`, enter a :guilabel:`Summary` for that activity, a
|
|
:guilabel:`Due Date`, and assign it to an employee. According to the :guilabel:`Activity Type`, you
|
|
may have **additional options** available.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If an activity is **already** scheduled, the icon may change to a **phone**, **group of people**,
|
|
or other.
