Higher education

Five teams. Five inboxes. Zero shared visibility

Marketing, Admissions, Advancement, IT, and the PMO all run their own projects their own way. Workzone gives every department one shared view without forcing them into one rigid process.

What actually breaks

The parts of the academic year no software vendor demos.

01

Ten departments across three campuses, and nobody can see what anyone else is shipping.

02

Enrollment season hits and the whole calendar becomes a guessing game.

03

Accreditation timelines that live in one person's head and one giant spreadsheet.

04

A viewbook stuck in approval limbo two weeks before it goes to print.

FAQ

Questions higher-ed buyers actually type.

What is the best project management software for higher education?

Workzone is the clear fit for mid-size and large institutions coordinating work across departments and campuses. Deep enough for the PMO, simple enough for a Marketing coordinator, without a full-time admin to run it.

Does Workzone have templates for university departments?

Yes. Department-specific templates for Admissions, Advancement, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Alumni Relations, IT, and the PMO, plus 1,000+ more you can adapt.

Can Workzone handle work across multiple campuses and departments?

Yes. Portfolio and shared views span departments and campuses, so leadership sees one institution instead of a dozen inboxes.

How fast can a university team get started?

About 3 weeks with human-led onboarding. Most teams are running their first actual projects inside the first month.
