Templates and reusable documents
PRAGMA publishes reusable templates and lightweight standards to help projects report progress, clarify expectations and improve how they work in the open.
Reusable project documents
Named after Mnemosyne, the Greek Titan goddess of memory, Mnemos is PRAGMA's public repository for reusable templates, reference documents and lightweight standards. The goal is practical: make governance, treasury work, incident response and project operations easier to review, reuse and improve.
