Template sprawl is a governance problem, not a tooling problem. Without lifecycle standards, teams clone workflows and drift from compliant execution.

Use a three-layer model: canonical templates owned by process managers, local variants owned by team leads, and clear promotion rules from local to canonical.

This model balances autonomy and control while preserving operational consistency.
