1.Create Project and Manage Tasks:
The project management module Odoo helps you to plan or forecast each task. We can create new projects and assign the project manager, team members as well. Also, schedule activities and put specified tags to identify the projects and tasks. Also, the tasks are organized under different time schedules for different employees. We can split each task to subtasks and they can be also assigned to the employees as well. As per the completion of tasks or as per the work status, each task can be arranged in different stages. Also, we can prioritize the task according to the urgency of completion or as per requirement. Each of the employees can record their work status and spend hours under the timesheet. We can get a view of the planned hours and actually spent hours of each employee. Thus budget management and invoicing of the project can be managed. Linking with project timesheets or analytic accounts you can quickly create invoices based on the timesheet.
