What Should Happen After the Odoo Discovery Workshop
· Updated · 2 min read
A workshop that ends with “we will share the recording” has not finished. The output is a first release someone can sign, and a list of what waits.
Write the sentence
The first release is one sentence: which documents, which locations, which roles. If the sentence needs a page of exceptions, it is not a first release. The longer implementation guide starts in the same place.
Every request that did not fit goes on a later list with a reason. That list is how you stop the next call from reopening the date.
Name the data owner the same day
Someone leaves the room responsible for customers, products, and opening balances. Without that name, configuration waits on a file that nobody is cleaning. The migration checklist is their brief.
A demo of every app is not this meeting. If you still need to see the product, use how to prepare for a demo first.
Then the quote can be real
A timeline band — 4–8 weeks, 2–4 months, or 4–12 months — belongs next to that sentence. A price without it is a guess. India partner-led work typically sits at ₹2–15 lakhs before licences and hosting.
If your last workshop did not produce the sentence, book a free audit and we will write it with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should discovery take?+
Long enough to name the first release and the data owner. A single working session is enough for a focused scope. A tour of every department is a different project.
Who should be in the room?+
The person who can say no to a feature, and the person who will clean the product list. A room of spectators does not decide.
What if stakeholders disagree?+
The owner of the go-live date decides what is in it. Disagreement that is not decided is why the weeks slip.
