What are the stages of team development?

The stages of team development, as outlined by Bruce Tuckman in his model, are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In the forming stage, team members come together, get to know each other, and establish the goals and objectives of the team. This is followed by the storming stage, where conflicts and disagreements may arise as individuals express their opinions and ideas. In the norming stage, the team works through these conflicts, establishes norms and processes, and begins to collaborate effectively. The performing stage is when the team is functioning at its peak, achieving its goals and working together seamlessly. Finally, in the adjourning stage, the team wraps up its work, celebrates successes, and reflects on the experience before parting ways. Understanding these stages can help teams navigate challenges and work towards success.
