Ensure chatter section (log notes, messages, followers, activities) works properly in the form view.
Implement necessary access rights and security rules for the messaging features.
Conduct testing to ensure Discuss integration does not conflict with other features or customizations.
Maintain clean, modular code adhering to Odoo development best practices.
Document all changes clearly, including Python and XML modifications.

Version control using Git.
Preferred Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
Prior experience implementing Discuss functionality in custom Odoo apps or modules.
Experience with Odoo Studio is a plus, but understanding its limitations in enabling chatter without code is essential.
Familiarity with other Odoo modules like CRM, Helpdesk, and Sales is beneficial.
