One of the prominent benefits of the agile method is that it helps in carrying out software development and customization in the most efficient manner. Get a feasible solution by pursuing the right path and making your business management more efficient.
Odoo implementation methodology followed by us includes frequentative and accumulative tactics to develop robust ERP software. This pathway includes project planning, requirement gathering, gap analysis, software development, customization, deployment, testing, and delivery simultaneously. All things considered, choosing an agile Odoo implementation methodology ensures consistent value delivery to your customer.
The very first step of any ERP implementation project should be reviewing the client's business, workflow, and practices they follow. It helps in getting the overall knowledge about the customer's business situations. Also, helps analyze the prospective requirements they could have. To put it another way, this step helps partners anticipate the entire idea of the Odoo solution that they are going to develop by communicating to the client team.
Once the team completes the business review they begin with the requirement gathering. This step mainly comprises three practices; requirement interpretation, requirement extraction, and documentation. The team of Odoo implementation experts analyzes the requirement's feasibility and drafts an elaborated document around the client's requirements. This step of the Odoo ERP implementation builds a foundation for the entire process.
Another crucial step of ERP implementation is a gap analysis. This step includes the collection of every specification or requirement of the client. Further, analyzing the gaps between covered requirements by the standard solutions and requirements that need customization or specific development.
After analyzing the gap the main point of project planning comes into place, which is defining the project's path. In other words, at the project planning stage, partners make a plan that helps businesses see what their ERP implementation roadmap will look like. Further, they assemble an expert team of Odoo consultants, developers, quality analysts, and project managers. This is the phase where the functional consultant collaborates with the development team and helps them understand the requirement document. It further helps developers to comprehend what they need to develop. Also, at this phase, the team defines the project's deadline.
After the completion of the project planning phase, the technical team helps clients with the software installation and configuration. First, they install the system and then configure them according to the customer's requirements and workflow. Once the system is installed, the technical team or business analysts helps in configuring the system in a way that perfectly caters to the customer's business requirements.
It is the most important step as it covers most standard requirements of the business. As Odoo already offers robust solutions, you will find everything in Odoo modules. The system will only need the right configuration and you are all set to use the standard Odoo solution.
Now comes the most essential step of the Odoo implementation process, which is Odoo development. At this stage, the Odoo developers will execute the entire ERP implementation plan as per the requirement document. To put it another way, they will start with the software development and designing process that will cover every aspect of the client's requirements. Our Odoo developers follow the best programming practices and write clean code.
Furthermore, in the gap analysis phase if the analysts find some requirements that need to be fulfilled via customization. Then we have an Odoo customization expert team that can easily enhance your Odoo software. In other words, our programmers are highly qualified to customize the system in accordance with the customer requirements and make Odoo even more robust. All things considered, this is the critical phase and it includes so many things, such as dashboard designing, interface designing, reports customization, and more.
This stage includes the data migration of the client's older system data into the Odoo ERP. The partners can migrate the data after installation or after development, it's up to them. In the migration step, the business analysts carry out detailed data mapping so the development team can seamlessly migrate the data.
To explain it further, once the partner team receives the client data like customer records, products, sale orders, purchase orders, invoices, vendors, vendor bills, employee records, etc., the Odoo analysts map the data with Odoo. We carry out the migration via XML/CSV Files. If you are wondering how much time it will take to migrate your data, then it depends on the size & count of data of your business.
After completion of the development and customization of Odoo ERP, the development team deploys the solution on the staging branch. The quality analysts have access to this branch so that they can test the developed software. Further, they assure that the software is working perfectly. The testing team checks the system's features and functionalities if that is developed as per the client's expectations. They follow the best testing practices and use cutting-edge testing tools. Now, if they find any bugs or defects they report to the development team.
The developers again work on the system to rectify the errors and deploy the software on the staging branch. Again the testing team checks the solution, this cycle goes on until there is no defect in the system. After this, the system is ready for UAT, i.e., user acceptance testing, where the client will check the system and see if the software is working as per their requirements.
Once the quality team and client team gives the approval, the Odoo developers proceed to deploy the solution on the customer's server. In other words, the developers deploy the solution on the customer's live Odoo instance, where the end users are going to use the software. At the time of live deployment, the developers have to be very careful so that they cannot make any mistakes like
Our development team takes every possible precaution while deploying the Odoo on the client's live instance to prevent errors. Once this system goes on the production branch, the end users will be able to see all the features and functionalities developed. Now, the client can again evaluate the solution and if they need something more, they can send development & customization requests to the partner company. Agin the Odoo programmers start the development and customization to satisfy business clients' needs.
This is the stage where the functional consultants of the partner company give the Odoo training to the end users so that they can use Odoo efficiently. We all know that to use new software in your business, you will need training to have a better understanding of ERP's features, functionalities, and workflow. After live deployment, we schedule the training sessions with the various departments of the client's company such as sales, purchase, accounting, warehouse, etc.
Now the Odoo experts will provide the training on how to use the sales module, what are the features and how they will be beneficial to the team. It will help the end user to use the system more efficiently and make the entire operation more efficient. User training is a step that is going to help serve the Odoo ERP implementation purpose, which is the enhancement of operational efficiency and better productivity.
