4. 5 stages of
Team Development
Teams go through stages of development. The
most commonly used framework for a team's stages of development was developed
in the mid-1960s by Bruce W. Tuckman. In 1977, Tuckman, jointly with Mary Ann
Jensen, added a fifth stage to the 4 stages: “Adjourning.”
Each stage of team development has its own
recognizable feelings and behaviors; understanding why things are
happening in certain ways on your team can be an important part of the
self-evaluation process
Stage 1: Forming
The principal work for the team during the
Forming stage is to create a team with clear structure, goals, direction and
roles so that members begin to build trust
Stage 2: Storming
Storming stage of development call for the
team to refocus on its goals, perhaps breaking larger goals down into smaller,
achievable steps.
Stage 3: Norming
During the Norming stage, members shift their
energy to the team's goals and show an increase in productivity, in both
individual and collective work. The team may find that this is an appropriate
time for an evaluation of team processes and productivity.
Stage 4: Performing
In the Performing stage, the team makes
significant progress towards its goals. Commitment to the team's mission is
high and the competence of team members is also high. Team members should
continue to deepen their knowledge and skills, including working to
continuously improving team development.
Stage 5: adjourning
The
adjourning stage is when the team is completing the current project. They will
be joining other teams and moving on to other work in the near future. For a
high performing team, the end of a project brings on feelings of sadness as the
team members have effectively become as one and now are going their separate
ways.
