In Odoo, you can manage projects – and in this article, you'll find everything you need to know about it.
I’ll focus on four key elements:
- when it makes sense,
- what the Project module looks like in practice,
- what it costs,
- and what you should know before deciding.
Let’s get into it:
When Does Project Management in Odoo Make Sense?
Implementing Odoo is worth considering if you want to manage projects in an organized way and keep everything in one place, without juggling multiple tools. It’s especially useful when:
- you run service-based projects and need to bill clients for time,
- your team works remotely or in a hybrid model and needs a shared planning space,
- you’re already using other Odoo modules and want them all connected,
- you need a tool that scales with your business growth.
You don’t need a complex process – even simple projects are easier to run when you have a clear plan and real-time visibility.
How Does the Odoo Project Module Work?
The Projects module in Odoo offers a wide range of features, yet remains very user-friendly.
Let’s take a closer look: 
Project Management in Odoo in Practice
One of the first things you'll notice is how you can display your data in the way that suits you best:
1. Kanban View – Move Tasks Like Sticky Notes
This board view presents project stages as columns like “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.” Tasks appear as cards that can be easily dragged between columns.
2. Gantt View – Everything Laid Out Over Time
The calendar lets you see what's scheduled for today, tomorrow, and the days ahead. It’s useful for checking who’s working on what, spotting scheduling conflicts, or identifying if the team is overloaded at any point.
3. List view grouped by stages – who does what and when
This view lets you see the entire project - you can also see exactly how tasks depend on each other. You can easily check which stages overlap, if something is running late, and how much time individual activities actually take.
Being able to tailor the interface to your way of working is genuinely helpful.
The Projects module also includes other useful features, such as:
- inviting clients to the project and controlling what they can see or edit,
- all team and client communication in one place,
- time tracking and billing – e.g. after completing a milestone,
- real-time view of project progress, costs, and profitability.
That’s just a portion of what the Odoo Projects module can do.
Odoo’s Biggest Advantage
The system’s biggest strength is its integration with other areas of your business. Thanks to its modular structure, all key data lives in one place.
Sounds good, doesn’t it?

How Much Does Project Management in Odoo Cost?
In short – the Projects module in Odoo is free if it’s your first app in the system. You can use it without user limits or time restrictions.
Costs only appear when you connect it to other modules, like Sales or Invoicing.
In that case, Odoo switches to a subscription model where you pay per user, per month.
If you decide to get implementation help, there are also configuration costs – but that depends on what exactly you want to automate.

What Should You Know Before You Decide?
The Projects module in Odoo can make task management much easier – but it’s not automatic. To make the system run optimally, you’ll need to configure it according to how your team works – that’s where Odoo implementation comes in.
