Managed the series as one programme
I maintained visibility across all four books so decisions on one release did not create avoidable inconsistencies or delays elsewhere.

The brief
01Tenacity Worldwide brings digital textbooks to high-school students through Learning Labs in Ethiopian communities where reliable internet access cannot be assumed. The books follow the national curriculum and combine core content with audio, video, quizzes and other learning aids.
The delivery challenge
02Each book was a substantial product with its own content, review and quality needs, but the series still had to feel consistent.
Delivery depended on coordination across Tenacity Worldwide, the product team and Gebeya. Content, audio, technology, offline use and feedback cycles could not be managed as separate projects if the complete learning experience was to work in rural communities.
My delivery scope
03- Maintained the multi-book delivery plan and priorities
- Coordinated client reviews and feedback cycles
- Aligned design, development, content and QA work
- Tracked dependencies across Books 9 to 12
- Kept offline access and low-connectivity use visible in delivery decisions
- Coordinated the addition and review of audio
What I led
From intent to delivery.
The decisions and delivery moves that kept the work useful, aligned and accountable.
Designed delivery around real access
The books needed to work beyond well-connected classrooms. I kept offline access and the realities of rural learning environments visible alongside content, design, platform delivery and quality.
Integrated audio into delivery
When audio became part of the product, I incorporated it into the plan, review process and quality checks rather than treating it as an isolated add-on.
Kept acceptance visible
I coordinated review and UAT activities for Book 12 as part of the Gebeya team and kept ownership of issues visible through resolution.

The lasting point
Offline-first was not a technical feature. It was what made the learning experience relevant to the communities it was designed to serve.
The challenge was not simply finishing four books. It was maintaining one clear standard across connected products, teams and review stages.
