Task management

Odoo task management covers how work items are created, organised and tracked inside the Project app. It helps teams keep every task visible, assigned and moving through a clear workflow, from a first idea to a finished deliverable.

What task management covers

Tasks are the basic unit of work in Odoo Project. Each task can carry a title, assignees, tags, a deadline and an allocated time, and moves across Kanban stages as work progresses. Task statuses show whether work is in progress, needs changes, has been approved, or is done or cancelled.

Topics covered in this knowledge base

This section covers task stages and statuses, creating tasks manually or automatically (by email alias or website form), recurring tasks for repeating work, sub-tasks for breaking work into smaller pieces, and task dependencies for controlling the order tasks are carried out in.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a task stage and a task status?

A stage is a Kanban column showing where a task is in your workflow, while a status (such as In Progress or Done) tracks the task’s progress within that stage.

Can a task have more than one assignee?

Yes, a task can have several assignees, and each one sees it in their own task list.
