Services
UML Solutions' consultants provide hands-on and fit-for-purpose process frameworks, methodologies and POS (Positive Organisational Scholarship) solutions, helping clients drive strategic results and achieving optimised returns from their programs and projects, applying proven practices in the use and institutionalisation of suitable frameworks and methodologies, and enhancing positivity as the cornerstone of motivation across teams and business units.
We specialise in providing three main types of consulting services (often combined into a single solution offering tailored to very client's specific needs):
· Portfolio, Program & Project Management Consulting
· Frameworks & Methodologies Consulting
· Positive Organisational Scholarship Consulting
We are unique in the sense that we add value to our clients' Portfolio, Program and Project Management Offices (at various levels throughout the enterprise) by successfully combining our three main consulting offerings into one: We help clients to enhance positivity as a cornerstone of motivation, enabling them to successfully adopt and embed proven mainstream Agile frameworks and methodologies, optimally using that as one of the primary vehicles to mature and transform the EPMO into a strategic capability and enabler with which to drive strategic objectives, achieving optimised returns from programs and projects in a sustainable way.
Portfolio, Program & Project Management Consulting

Frameworks & Methodologies Consulting
UML Solutions’ Frameworks & Methodologies Consulting Practice provides clients with a structure for project execution that can be logically communicated and commonly understood. We bring value by tailoring approaches, documentation, effort and direction in a scaled and agile manner to suit each specific enterprise, its current culture and change status, and each of its individual projects.
We assist clients to adopt and customise mainstream frameworks and methodologies at various levels in the organisation (enterprise, portfolio, program or project) in such a way that the continuous use of those frameworks, methodologies and proven practices become instrumental in a consistent and repeatable way, serving the enterprise as a strategic enabler through which programs and projects can yield the benefits they set out to achieve.
We offer the following core Frameworks & Methodologies consulting / advisory services:
- Enabling the customisation and adoption of a number of mainstream frameworks and methodologies (whether in pure or hybrid/combined form). Examples are: Traditional (Waterfall), Iterative/Incremental, Unified Process, eXtreme Programming (XP), LEAN, Agile, DAD (Disciplined Agile Delivery), SCRUM, Scaled Agile (SAFe) and Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI).
- Providing means and models with which to objectively measure the adoption rate of the above in the applicable "deployment areas" in the client enterprise.
- Enhancing teams with subject matter experts who serve as coaches / mentors in the adoption of these frameworks and methodologies.
