Methodology

The TARGET-method.
Six steps. No surprises.

ICT projects have a reputation: they overshoot scope, overshoot timing, overshoot budget. We built the TARGET-method to put that to bed — control, momentum, and clear focus, from kick-off to go-live.

What TARGET fixes.

Most Odoo projects fail in the same places: weak executive sponsorship, vague scope, hidden risks discovered too late, drifting meetings, decisions stuck in committees. Each letter of TARGET targets one of those failure modes.

The six steps

T · A · R · G · E · T

  1. Step 1

    Top management involvement

    Real involvement from the owner, director or executive sponsor. Not just a kick-off cameo — through every phase. This is what keeps the project moving when something hard needs deciding.

  2. Step 2

    Analysis upfront

    A Fit-Gap analysis at the start: every process mapped, every standard vs custom decision flagged, every priority set. Findings land in a shared table — not in a 60-page document nobody reads.

  3. Step 3

    Risk prioritization

    We open every project by surfacing the three biggest risks: custom development, integrations, large data migrations, specialised process configuration. Resolve those first; the rest follows.

  4. Step 4

    Guided check-ins

    Weekly or bi-weekly calls, max 30 minutes. Only two things on the agenda: action items completed, action items assigned. No status theatre.

  5. Step 5

    Expert sessions

    Deep-dives with the right people in the room — often 1:1. Process owners, technical leads, finance, ops. Decisions made where the knowledge actually lives.

  6. Step 6

    Task management

    Three time dimensions tracked in Odoo's project tool: client time, FANATICS time, total project duration. Gantt-style visibility. Everyone sees the same view.
