You do not know what your team is doing until you ask
And asking every day is micromanagement: people dislike it, it costs you time, and the picture is still glued together out of spoken "fine, we're on it".
CALM solves this without reports: tasks are marked the same way for everyone and every person's day is assembled by the same rules — so the picture of the team comes together on its own, out of the tasks rather than out of retellings.
The same list gives the same day to anyone.
Jimmy for Teams — pilot teams
A personal assistant for every person on the team, plus a daily and weekly picture for the manager — with no reports and no micromanagement. The same three levels as in personal mode:
Team · Helper
The morning review, the plan for the day and the evening result — for everyone on the team. For you, the picture of the day.
Team · Assistant
Everything in Team · Helper, plus the CALM method for the whole team: one set of marking rules — one task language for everyone.
Team · Personal assistant
The weekly CALM ritual for the whole team, plus analytics: where the team loses pace, who is overloaded, what keeps getting stuck.
The Jimmy for Teams pilot — we onboard teams personally, and the number of pilot slots is limited. The mode is already preselected in the form.
Apply for a pilotTurnkey rollout
A separate format — business consulting for teams of 5 to 30 people. We do not sell consulting for its own sake: the point of a rollout is that within two weeks your team settles into the system and stays there. The procedure is worked out and does not demand weeks of preparation from the manager — we walk you through it:
- 1Interview1–2 hours · the only thing we need from you
Goals, roles, how the flow of tasks works today, and what hurts.
- 2Setup3–5 days · we do it
We assemble the team's task base in Todoist, migrate it and mark it ourselves. The CALM marking rules and the rhythm of the week are fitted to your structure, not to a template.
- 3Launch and trainingweek 2 · 20 minutes per person
The team starts living in the system. Everyone gets a short training on their own tasks; you get the picture of the team without reports.
- 4Supportthe first weeks · in touch
We tune the rules, answer questions and calibrate to how the team actually works.
Behind the format: 20 years running businesses hands-on, as the person accountable for the result, and the CALM method, which goes through a daily self-test. Pricing is on request — it depends on the size of the team and the current state of its tasks. After the rollout the team keeps working on Jimmy for Teams: the system stays alive instead of leaving with the consultant.
Turnkey rollout — tell us your situation and we will name the price for your team.
Write on TelegramWho runs the rollout
Vasily Chernogorov (Василий Черногоров) — author of the CALM method, twenty years running businesses hands-on, as the person accountable for the result. Jimmy and the method grew out of the operating system he uses to run himself and his team — the one that goes through a daily self-test. He runs the rollout personally.
The system learns your team
A rollout is more than setup: from the first day the team's context starts to accumulate. Business goals and focuses, roles, who is busy with what, what regularly gets stuck and for whom. A month in, the picture of the team comes not from reports but from the accumulated history of tasks.
Some layers of that context already work (setup at the start, marking the portfolio), others are in development: learning from your decisions and personal rules for the team.
Why CALM works in a team
Mode is read from the point of view of the task's assignee. A manager does not re-mark other people's tasks to fit their own view — the conflict is ruled out by construction.
The team contour is simply tasks assigned to other people, visible through three ordinary fields: assignee, Level, date. Nobody writes anything extra.
Delegated on an employee's task means "they passed it on further" — the link that collapses in ordinary trackers.
Morning — the Focus, evening — the Closing, once a week — the ritual. The method is open in full: the team understands why the day is assembled the way it is.
Questions managers ask
How much of my own time does this take?
The interview — one or two hours at the start. After that we do the setup and the migration of tasks ourselves; from you we need short check-ins during the support stage. The team learns on its own tasks, with no half-day group training.
Will the team resist the marking?
Marking in CALM is nods, not philosophy: the axes have defaults and a three-second rule, and with Jimmy the coordinates are proposed automatically — a person confirms rather than fills in forms. What usually causes resistance is reporting, and there is none here: the picture comes out of the tasks themselves.
We already run Jira / Notion / another tracker. What happens to it?
The base of the system is Todoist — we migrate and mark the team's tasks during setup. Your workflows in Jira or Notion can stay untouched: CALM governs the level of "what are we doing today", not the storage of project documentation. Integrations with other trackers are on the roadmap.
What if it does not stick after a month?
The system stays with you: the tasks live in your own Todoist, the marking rules are open on this site, and the method is executable by hand. Jimmy can be switched off at any moment — nothing is lost and nothing leaves with the consultant.
How much time does it cost an employee per day?
In the morning, confirm the Focus; in the evening, a short Closing. That is minutes, not a stand-up: the method was deliberately built so as not to add one more duty to the team.
