  • We will start executing the tasks as per the Odoo implementation plan in conjunction with the Project Team
  • We will now start the creation of required custom reports for references.

3.Operational Activities

In the third phase, the O2b team will begin customizing, installing, and/or upgrading modules and copying them to a test database for use in the pilot testing phase of the project.

Sprint Planning Meeting

At the start of each sprint, the O2b project team will meet for a “Sprint Planning Meeting” that will be held at the start of every sprint. During this meeting, the pO2b project team determines which items, from the Product Backlog, can be completed for the upcoming Sprint and breaks the items down into tasks in the Sprint Backlog.

If new requirements have been discovered or requirements have changed since the Project Estimate Meeting then those items would get updated in this meeting.

Development and Customization

At the development phase, the solution is developed based on the client’s requirements. O2b’s programming team will develop and design the Odoo ERP system matching the clients’ needs and also, customize the developed solution in case of any specific requirements.

Conference Room Pilot Testing

The pilot test is based on the processes that are developed during the business process engineering, and it serves the following functions:

  • Test the setup of the system
  • Prove the validity of the re-engineered processes and work instructions
  • Provide additional training for team members by simulating their normal day-to-day activities

Go-Live!

During the go-live period, the O2b Technologies’ team will ensure that all requirements have been covered to ensure a smooth transition onto the new business system.

It is at this time that all tasks on the project plan have been completed, all users trained, all processes reengineered, and the final data migration/conversion is performed.

End-User Training

Once the solution is deployed on the live instance, the O2b Technologies’ team will move for the end-user training.

The following are some examples of key areas that will be addressed during training:

  • How to enter transactions, and the different ways they can be entered and posted?
  • How to maintain the data that is accumulating in your system?
  • How to use inquiries and reports to obtain the information you wish to access?
