## Problem Statement:
The organization needs to develop an Odoo-based system that streamlines the process of students and contractors bidding on, working on, and getting paid for projects. The key challenges are:
1. Project Posting and Bidding
2. Proposal Evaluation and Project Award
3. Project Execution and Progress Tracking
4. Project Submission and Approval
5. Payment Processing
### 1. Project Posting and Bidding
* Open projects will be posted in the Odoo system
* Students and contractors will be able to view the project details and submit bids by filling out a standardized template
* The template should capture key information like the timeline, and pricing
### 2. Proposal Evaluation and Project Award
* The board will evaluate the submitted proposals
* The top 3 proposals will be selected to present their work to the community board
* After the presentations, the board will award the project to the selected student or contractor
### 3. Project Execution and Progress Tracking
* The selected student/contractor will need a platform within Odoo to:
* Report progress on the project
* Ask questions and schedule meetings to collect requirements
* Document project requirements and specifications
### 4. Project Submission and Approval
* Upon project completion, the student/contractor will submit the deliverables for approval
* A board member or manager will review the submitted work
* The project will either be:
* Approved for payment
* Marked as requiring correction or update
* If corrections are needed, the manager/board will provide specific feedback
### 5. Payment Processing
* If the project is approved for payment, a notification will be sent to the account manager
* The account manager will initiate the payment process within Odoo
* Payments will be made according to the approved budget for the project
