storming.team

Storming shows where working styles on your team diverge, and suggests what the people involved can agree on.

Everyone on the team answers a questionnaire from personality research and a shorter one on team culture. Storming compares the answers using published rules. Anna and Marc might then learn that they mean different things by “done”, along with a suggestion for what to agree on.

Built for teams of five to fifteen. The longest questionnaire takes about twenty minutes, and afterwards the people involved talk the result through and write down what they want to change.

Storming is in development. The beta starts later in 2026, beginning with teams from the waitlist.

We only write to you about the beta, at most once a month. Every email has a link to take you off the list.

An example from the pair view

A pair analysis describes a situation both people know from daily work and suggests an agreement for it, with the scores it is based on listed underneath. Anna and Marc read it together and then decide whether to adopt the suggestion as it stands or agree on something of their own.

What Storming does

Pairs

Friction between two people

Eight published rules compare two people’s profiles and how each of them sees the team’s culture. The two get at most three observations, each with an everyday situation and a suggested agreement.

Culture

How the team sees its culture

Everyone answers statements on eight topics, such as decision speed or how conflict is handled, twice over: as things are today and as they should be. Alongside the median, the map shows how far apart the answers are. Where they spread widely, the team usually has something worth talking about.

Delegation

Who can handle what on their own

For each area of responsibility, you and the person concerned rate competence and commitment together. That produces a suggestion for how closely to guide and how much to hand over. If you decide otherwise, the suggestion stays visible next to your choice.

Development

Goals you can observe

A development goal describes a behaviour in four rungs, for example how someone records decisions. Each person has at most two active goals at a time, and moving up a rung takes dated examples. A personality score is never the goal itself.

Who gets what out of it

Lead

Less mediating

Two people who keep clashing get a concrete starting point from the pair view and a suggestion to discuss with each other. You no longer have to settle every bit of friction yourself.

Lead

Delegate more deliberately

For each area of responsibility you see where someone can work independently and where you should still stay close. That makes one-to-ones more concrete.

HR

A tool you can stand behind

Storming gives no scores and builds no rankings. How data is protected is described publicly on the Trust page, and you receive the data processing agreement and the technical measures before you start.

Why people answer candidly

Each person sees their own profile and decides what to share, and with whom. That makes it easier to answer the way things really are day to day, and every analysis depends on it.

Only differences the data supports

Every questionnaire score carries some measurement error. When two people are close enough that their ranges overlap, Storming shows no difference. That way nobody builds an explanation around a gap that isn’t there. The rule sits in the scoring itself, so it applies to every view.

There is a worked example on the method page.

Where the instruments come from

The personality questionnaires come from the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP), a public-domain collection researchers have worked with for about thirty years. There are no per-person licence fees, and you need neither a certification nor an outside consultant to understand the results. We wrote the team culture and team climate questionnaires ourselves; the method page says what still has to be validated.
