Methodology

The development of Odoo modules during my internship at Squad Focus followed a structured and
collaborative methodology that involved several key phases. This approach ensured that the
modules addressed real business needs, were designed efficiently, and integrated seamlessly into
the Odoo system.

4.1 Requirements Analysis

The first step involved thorough requirements analysis. I worked closely with clients and
internal stakeholders to understand the specific business challenges that needed to be
addressed. This phase focused on identifying gaps in existing Odoo modules and gathering
detailed requirements for the new features to be developed. The analysis helped ensure that the
solutions were aligned with user needs, functional workflows, and business goals.

4.2 System Design

Once the requirements were gathered, I collaborated with my CEO and senior developers to
design a functional system blueprint. This involved outlining how the new features should
