(UML), though the use of UML is not required. OUM combines these standards with aspects of Oracle's legacy methods and Oracle implementation best-practices.
OUM is applicable to any size or type of information technology project.

Guidance is provided for identifying the minimum subset of tasks, tailoring the project approach, executing iterative and incremental project planning, and applying
Agile techniques. Supplemental guidance provides specific support for
Oracle products, tools, and technologies.
