4 Must-Have Features in Odoo 18 for Streamlined Project Management

Managing projects can be overwhelming—tracking deadlines, coordinating teams, ensuring legal compliance, and staying organized. Whether you're handling a small team or running a large-scale operation, the right tools can make a world of difference. That’s where Odoo 18 comes in, offering a suite of new powerful project management tools designed to simplify every aspect of your workflow.


Let’s explore the key features that can help you manage your projects with ease and improve team collaboration—all while staying on top of deadlines. 


1. SIMPLIFIED E-SIGNATURE RIGHT IN YOUR PROJECT

Documents, legal agreements, like Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), are critical when collaborating with vendors, clients, or external partners. With Odoo 18, requesting and obtaining e-signatures has never been easier.


How it works:

  • Attach the document directly to your projects or tasks.
  • Request e-signatures from relevant parties directly in the system using Odoo Sign, without leaving the platform.
  • Track progress and receive notifications when the documents are signed, ensuring you stay compliant and secure.


 Why this matters: Avoid the hassle of third-party tools and manual follow-ups. Quickly secure confidentiality agreements and get back to work without missing a beat.





2. TOP BAR - YOUR PROJECT DASHBOARD, SIMPLIFIED

Navigating through multiple projects, tasks and applications can be a headache, but with Odoo 18’s Top Bar, staying on top of your project is faster and easier.


Key benefits:

  • Customize your toolbar to fit the needs of each project, so you don’t have to switch between different apps. For example, if you’re working on a specific project, you can easily add tasks, timesheets, documents, sales orders, and a dashboard—all in one place. Plus, you can save this custom view.
  • Less clicking, more productivity—all project information is accessible from one central location.


 Why this matters: If you're feeling bogged down by complex navigation, the Top Bar gives you a bird’s eye view of your project, ensuring you're always a step ahead.






3. GANTT VIEW - VISUALIZE YOUR PROJECT TIMELINE LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Project timelines can quickly get complicated. But with Odoo’s enhanced Gantt View, you can visually plan and manage every aspect of your project from start to finish.


Key features:

  • Drag-and-drop scheduling for easy task adjustments.
  • Task dependencies: Automatically adjust timelines when one task is delayed to avoid bottlenecks.


 Why this matters: Whether you’re working on a short-term project or managing a long-term campaign, the Gantt View helps you stay organized and ensures your project progresses smoothly. You’ll always know who’s doing what and when.






4. TASK REVISIONS - TRACK, EDIT, AND COLLABORATE SEAMLESSLY

Managing changes is part of every project, but it can be difficult to keep track of different versions. With Task Revisions, you no longer need to worry about losing track of important updates.


Key features:

  • Version control: Each task update is automatically tracked, with a complete history available.
  • Collaborative feedback: Team members can leave comments or suggestions on specific versions.
  • Revert changes: If something goes wrong, easily revert to a previous version.


 Why this matters: Collaboration becomes much smoother when you can see the task evolution in real-time. You’ll always know who made changes and when—allowing for more transparent and productive teamwork.
