Ownership and access
Identify the owners of the subscription, hosting, repositories, integrations and business data. Record access owners without putting passwords in shared checklists.
ODOO PARTNER HANDOVER GUIDE
Change partners with a clearer handover.
When a new team takes over, missing context becomes operational risk. Gather the facts, agree who owns the work and validate the handover before the outgoing team steps away. A respectful transition starts with a shared record.
Make the operating decisions visible before changing the system.
WHEN THE WORK FEELS HARDER THAN IT SHOULD
Know what you are taking over.
Work in progress
Collect open support issues, planned changes and unresolved decisions. Give each an owner, business impact and agreed next action.
How the system behaves
Document important workflows, custom modules and scheduled work. A list of installed apps alone will not explain how your team uses the system.
THE WORK MADE VISIBLE
A checklist for the handover conversation.
Use this as a starting agenda with your outgoing and incoming teams. The final scope depends on your hosting, contract, customizations and access. It does not replace a technical assessment or contractual review.
DELIVERABLES TO AGREE IN YOUR SCOPE
- An ownership and access inventory without secret values
- A shared register of dependencies and open issues
- A handover acceptance checklist with named owners
APPROACH AT A GLANCE
- 01GATHER
Collect the operating picture
Record version, edition, hosting, applications, custom code, integration owners and recovery arrangements. List documentation that is missing rather than assuming it exists.
- 02AGREE
Set the transition boundaries
Agree responsibility dates, support routes, outstanding work and access changes. Keep upgrades, hosting moves and process redesign separate unless explicitly scoped together.
- 03VALIDATE
Test the important business paths
Check representative sales, service and integration workflows with the responsible users. Review backup and restore evidence where relevant, then record what the receiving team accepts.
A CLEAR PATH FORWARD
Understand the work.
Agree the next step.
Start with your situation
Tell us what your team needs to do, where work gets stuck and which decisions are approaching.
Review the evidence together
We examine the relevant setup, responsibilities and constraints before recommending a direction.
Agree a practical next step
Leave with a defined next conversation or a scoped assessment, rather than an open-ended commitment.
Brand. Digital. AI. One system.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
Clear expectations make better working relationships.
Scope, responsibilities and success criteria belong in the conversation from the start.
Should we share credentials in the enquiry form?
No. Start with the system context and the access owners. Any required access should be arranged privately through an agreed secure process, with appropriate permissions.
Should we remove the outgoing team immediately?
Plan access changes with the authorized account owner and the handover schedule. Avoid interrupting work still assigned to that team. Urgent security concerns require a separately controlled response.
Does this checklist guarantee a smooth transition?
No checklist can guarantee an outcome. It helps make assumptions and missing information visible. Timing, recovery and responsibilities must be agreed against the actual environment.
START WITH YOUR BUSINESS
Prepare the handover before the handover date.
If you are considering a partner change, start with the ownership, documentation and open issues you already have.
