Template what you can #

Barack Obama once shared that during his presidency he wore the same style of suit and tie every day. Why? Because every small choice eliminated gave him more energy for the big ones. This principle matters just as much in software as it does in politics.

Decision fatigue is real. In a single day, a team might weigh technical trade-offs, design compromises, product priorities, client expectations, and business outcomes. The last thing you want is to waste headspace crafting a one-off email or trying to remember the right structure for a sprint update.

That’s where templates come in. Templates don’t make things robotic; they make them reliable. They ensure that the important details never slip through, while freeing up your creativity and focus for the work that truly matters.

We don’t just template tasks - we template moments of trust. Every Slack message, email, and meeting structure is an opportunity to reinforce to clients that they’ve made the right investment. By leaning on clear, repeatable frameworks, we create consistency, reduce errors, and deliver an experience that feels professional and intentional—without the noise.

What we can template:

• Slack updates – so clients always know what’s happening, and blockers are visible.
• Email updates – so communication feels polished, clear, and complete every time.
• Meeting structures – so no important question goes unanswered.
• Our communication style – so tone is always fresh, personable, and trustworthy.

Templates aren’t about limiting expression. They’re about removing friction, so both the team and the client experience the Devign Methodology as clear, thoughtful, and worth every cent.
