Organize and plan your projects
Odoo Project is the app that gives your team one place to plan work, hand it out, and watch it move to done. Every project is a board of cards. Each card is a task with an owner, a due date, a stage, and the running thread of every comment, file, and decision tied to it. Agencies, consultancies, software shops, and construction PMs run client work on Odoo project management. Internal teams use Odoo project management for renovations, hiring rollouts, and product launches.
Odoo project management is built on a simple hierarchy. Project, then milestones, then tasks, then subtasks. The board, calendar, and list views show the same work in Odoo project management, so the PM and the people doing the work never argue about which list is current (the Gantt-style timeline view is part of the paid Enterprise tier). You can test Odoo Project free on the Odoo trial; pricing kicks in only if you install more than one Odoo app.
For Odoo's own product overview, see Odoo's product listing.
A PM opens Odoo project management and creates a new workspace for the client or the internal initiative. They set the start date, the customer, and the lead. They turn on milestones if the work bills against checkpoints, recurring tasks if some work repeats on a schedule, and task dependencies if certain tasks block others. Stages get named once. New projects start with a single placeholder stage; the team can add stages like To Do, In Progress, Review, Done in a minute, or copy a stage set from a template project.
Next, milestones get added for the big checkpoints, things like Design Approved, Beta Live, Final Walkthrough. Tasks slot under each milestone. A task gets a name, an owner (one person or several), a due date, a tag, an estimate in hours, and an optional role. Big tasks break into subtasks so the assignee sees a clean checklist instead of a wall of notes. If Task B can't start until Task A is done, the PM links them and Task B shows a blocked badge until A closes out.
From there the Odoo project management board carries the work. Each owner drags their cards across stages as they progress. Comments, files, and mentions stay on the card so context never gets lost in email. The PM watches the calendar for what's due this week, the timeline for the overall arc (Enterprise), and writes a status update on whatever cadence makes sense (weekly, biweekly, ad hoc) that rolls up open tasks, closed tasks, and a written note for the client. When tasks are done, hours flow into invoicing on their own and the Odoo project management workspace closes out without a final scramble to reconcile what was actually delivered.
Calibre configures Odoo Project for Alberta businesses: step by step, in writing.
Speak to an Implementation SpecialistSMBs whose data lives in QuickBooks, HubSpot Free, or Excel spreadsheets that were set up when the business was smaller. The team now spends hours building reports by hand and reconciling between tools every month-end.
Service businesses billing hours where the project tool, the timesheet tool, and the invoicing tool are three separate logins. The handoff between them costs the team a day every month.
Retail, manufacturing, mechanical, or professional services businesses with 10 to 200 employees running on a patchwork of point tools. The team wants one database for the whole company instead of Zapier holding it together.
Odoo Timesheets logs hours straight against a task, so a developer or a contractor records time once and the hours flow into both project margin reporting and customer invoicing without anyone copying numbers. Payroll work entries come from Attendance, leaves, and the contract schedule rather than from timesheets directly; if you need timesheet hours to drive pay, that mapping is a custom bridge, not an out-of-the-box flow. Services lines from a confirmed Sales quote drop into a Project on their own, so the work to be done matches the work that was sold. Helpdesk (Enterprise) tickets can escalate to a real task on the right project with one click and the conversation history stays attached. Odoo Invoicing queues billable work as you reach each milestone or as hours accrue; the bookkeeper creates the customer invoice on whatever cadence the engagement runs on. Comments, files, and mentions on a task use the same chatter that runs across every Odoo app, so an email reply lands on the task instead of in someone's inbox.
List-price comparison against the project management tools Calibre most commonly migrates customers off. The deciding factor is usually integration, not the line-item price. Odoo Project sits on the same database as every other Odoo app you install, so the data flows between modules without separate bridges.
