Task Watch Tracker Overview

The Task Watch Tracker app enhances collaboration in Odoo by allowing users to "watch" specific tasks. Watched tasks notify users about key updates—comments, stage changes, assignments, etc. Even if they are not the assigned user. Perfect for team leads, stakeholders, or QA members who want to stay informed without being directly involved.
