| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Forming | At this stage, team members are wondering whether the decision to join the team was a wise one. The team is making inital judgements about the skills and personal qualities of their teammates, as well as worrying about how they will be individually will be viewed by the rest of the team. During this stage, team conversations tend to be polite and noncommittal, as people hesitate to reveal too much about their personal views. In addition, team meetings tend to be confusing, as the team goes throught the growing process to determine who is in command. |
| Storming | At this stage, the team members begin to assert themselves and control issues emerge. Personality differences begin to arise. Conflicts are resulting from team members differing on the way they want to do the project work, or the way they want to make decisions. |
| Norming | At this stage, the team starts to work productively, without concern about personal acceptance or control. There are still conflicts but they are normally around process issues. The team is at the starting point to operate off of dependence and trust. |
| Performing | At the performing stage, the team is working at optimum productivity. Team members collaborate and communicate freely. They solve their own conflict problems. The level of trust between team members make everyone feel trusting and teammates help each other out, finding the best solution for the team as a whole. |
