Project Management

EdTech projects delivered on time and on budget

Technology projects in education are often a challenge - tight budgets, multiple stakeholders and systems that don’t always talk to each other. Without the right project management, things can quickly go off track.

Sheaf Digital specialises in guiding education and training providers through complex technology implementations. From planning steps to full rollout and adoption, we make sure your project delivers real, lasting value.

How we help education & training providers

1. Clear project planning

  • Realistic timelines and milestones - we understand academic calendars, teaching staff availability and the unique pace of educational institutions;
  • Experienced risk management - we know how to spot and prevent common pitfalls in education technology projects;
  • Simple documentation - stakeholders are in the loop throughout the project lifecycle;
  • Effective governance structures - clear decision-making whilst respecting educational hierarchies and processes.

  • Productive workshops - we're experts in bringing together diverse viewpoints and build consensus;
  • Informed stakeholders - regular updates written in plain English that avoid technical jargon;
  • Consensus building - across departments, user groups and wider stakeholders.

3. Budget control

  • Fixed-price project management - so you can budget with confidence and avoid unexpected costs;
  • Transparent cost tracking - ensures no surprises and helps maintain trust with finance teams;
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities - without compromising quality or essential functionality;
  • Prevent scope creep - we know how to prioritise whilst remaining flexible to genuine educational needs.

4. Quaity delivery

  • Rigorous testing processes - with real users to ensure new systems work in actual educational environments;
  • Smooth rollouts - minimal disruption to teaching and learning, carefully timed around academic schedules;
  • Post-implementation support - ensuring promised benefits are realised and adoption is successful.
