Guidance, templates & governance in one place
SSLM (Simple Solution, Low Maintenance) starts light and grows with the complexity of the work, adding only what a project genuinely needs. It runs any project with a light touch, tells the whole story, and still delivers its strategic objectives, from a single project up to a portfolio.
The foundation — the governance and design principles the whole model rests on.
See the principles →One project, three connected views on a single timeline — the model and its critical-path flow.
See the model →The ready-made pack — PTIP (portfolio prioritisation), RAID, SteerCo, reporting — plus the guides that explain each mechanism.
Browse the library →You never carry more process than the work needs. Every project starts from the same lean core, then adds documents and governance only as maturity and complexity earn them — never pre-emptively.
The standard document set every project uses — idea, business case, plan, RAID, reporting and closure.
Bring in deeper assurance blocks and extra registers as risk or scope grows — still run from the core pack.
Roll several related projects up into one view once they start sharing constraints.
Stand up a portfolio office or EPMO across the organisation — the same framework, higher altitude.
Every addition is a standard block, used unmodified — compose, don’t build. And a block is only added on a real trigger — a risk or assurance score crossing a threshold, a material change, or coordination with other projects — never pre-emptively. See how it scales →
