Stages of Project Team Development
Forming
The team first comes together; discovering "Why? What? Who? When?". Conflicts have not begin to emerge yet
Storming
Disagreements arise about what needs to be done and who will do it. People merge their individual perceptions of how the work should be done and mold a group perception. Having a strong common goal is one of the most important driving forces to resolving conflicts. This is a necessary and useful stage is you want to create, alignment and ownership.
Norming
The goals, roles, and boundaries have been clarified and accepted by team members. They have taken ownership and accountability for getting the work done. Regular team meetings are required at this stage so that team members can monitor progress and solve problems as they arise.
Performing
The team becomes a true team, working in unison, supporting one another. The team, not the leader, manages the project. Team members make adjustments to keep the deliverables on track; they monitor progress and manage change. The team takes full ownership and accountability, not only for the work to be done, but for the team dynamics as well.
