For Saas/Odoo.sh/On-Premise projects

Rules

Features

Separate the features that can be isolated from one another (no link between features)

Module Setup Time

Range between :

- New customer 0.5h to
- Big database 4H

Nomenclature

Use standard nomenclature. English variable names. No capitals. Words separated by _.

Try to make explicit variable names. Ex: sale_order_line_ids instead of order_line

- M2O end with _id
- O2M, M2M end with _ids

Time estimate reliability

For website, front-end, webshop, modification of standard record rules => 50% to MAXIMUM 70%

Template

How to use?

Try separating features and create one block like the template below for each feature. You only need to display the blocks that you need for your task analysis, no need to display all the blocks.
