Small teams don't need an org chart. They need the week.

On a five-person team, the renewal, invoice, dentist appointment, and deploy all draw down the same week and person. Pretending otherwise makes estimates optimistic.

Work tools ignore half of that, so everyone keeps a shadow list and Tuesday's plan is wrong. Mustard keeps personal projects private and shared projects visible to the team. Both draw from the same weekly capacity, because in reality they do.

Type “renewal quote ~acme thursday 4pm”. Mustard reads the ~project, date, and time, then files it correctly whether the project is shared or yours alone.

There is an owner, admins, members, and view-only seats. Enough permission to prevent an accidental deletion, not enough to require a meeting about permissions.

Nobody's job is administering the tool. At five people, the administrator is one of the five, configuring instead of working.

• No workflow builder, custom fields, or schema to design first.
• Setup takes minutes and stays set.
• If setup outlasts a cycle, the tool became the work.
