Rescuing a stalled Odoo project

Quoted at six months and stuck at month nine. Or finished, handed over, and slower every week. Or a contractor who left and took the knowledge.

Where it starts

With an inventory, not with opinions: what is installed, what was written by hand, what runs on schedule, where the data actually lives. Half a day of reading usually explains more than a week of meetings.

Then a short written answer: what is worth keeping, what is worth fixing, and what is cheaper to rewrite than to repair.

What usually turns out to be true

The project rarely stalls on something exotic. It stalls on a scope nobody wrote down, on custom code nobody can read, and on a database that was never looked at until it got slow.

None of that is fatal. All of it is work that can be planned once it is named.

What you end up with

A working system and a map of it: what each custom part does, what it depends on, and what to watch. Written so the next engineer - not necessarily me - can take over without archaeology.

And, if that is the honest answer, a straight recommendation to stop: sometimes finishing costs more than starting over.

Worth reading before you decide

Where to start

Half an hour on a call: your screen, your real system, an honest answer about whether the task is mine.
