 In traditional project management, a parent task is no longer a task as such, but a way of grouping sub-tasks together. Timesheets cannot be assigned directly to a parent task but it will be updated based on the child task(s) progress including timesheets and dates. 

Our customers like to see progress with traditional Gantt views where the parent task is a solid bar grouping the children together.

Project Planning in Odoo is just the worst. Where there are lots of tasks and sub-tasks, It is so hard to keep everything in order, I often feel like abandoning Odoo for any more than the simplest of projects.

Another thing I find bazaar is that in Odoo, a sub-task can be associated with a completely different project. That is just weird and immensely confusing. Can we please get rid of that ... "feature".

I do have more concerns with project such as S-S, S-F, F-F, tasks and more but let's start with the parent-child relationships first.

How do other people use Odoo Project for more traditional larger scaled project?

Odoo project management is almost completely unusable up to V16. In V16 (maybe it was already V15, we skipped it), it looks much better. Gantt and milestones exist and even more.


Which version are you using?

Hi, Currently we are on V17 and have been using Odoo since v14 - and your right. As a project management tool, it has improved however it is still a very long way away from being a complete mature solution. I have been frustrated by many things such as when using project templates or duplicating project does not create separate instance but links back to an existing instance. Then you find that any changes complete screw up other projects. It's so messy that I advise people not to use it unless they are looking for the most basic of functionality and not to get too excited with what they see in the training videos.
