Commonly, there are two methodologies popular for the implementation of Odoo business applications. Large scale project implementation methodology is a big-bang approach followed by the Odoo official partner network, and the Quickstart implementation is offered by the Odoo team and some partners on the cloud platform.

Large scale projects are a solution to specific business needs and provide customization, a long sales cycle, and an implementation cycle, as well.

The Quickstart approach is useful for small and medium sized companies who would like to adapt a standard business process. This is available in Odoo, out-of-the-box, to help you to go live as quickly as possible. According to the Odoo team, a project can go live in 100 hours after implementing four major applications: Sales, Purchasing, Stocks, and Accounting.

Odoo is a suite of business applications. The software is designed with a perfect modular approach and allows the user to start with one application and keep on adding new applications when the business grows. All the applications are installed later and will be integrated by default.

Odoo focuses on a great user experience for the first run, and it keeps the business flow as simple as possible. A user can start using it confidently, but on the first run, you may not get all the features; however, additional features can be activated once you install the new application.

Odoo Studio was recently launched along with Odoo version 10. You can customize screens and reports, add new fields to model, create an automated action or create a new business application from scratch without any development skills. You can design awesome reports and create some automated business workflows too using Odoo studio.

Customizations done in Odoo Studio can be exported as an Odoo module. Developers or consultants can use Odoo Studio to bootstrap new modules or to create a prototype model of the proposed application.
