Bruce Truckman’s stage of Team development:

• Forming
• Storming
• Norming
• Performing
• Adjourning

• Team gets to know one another
• Project manager should clarify the project goals, roles, and context of the project
• Done during the Make a plan project phase.

• As people settle into their roles and the work on their project begins, the people on your team are interacting more and maybe disagreeing a bit. Frustration may emerge.
• Project manager should focus on conflict resolution, lister as the team addresses problem to solve, and share insights on how the team might better function as a unit.

• Conflict is mostly resolved and team is working together.
• Project manager should codify the team norms, ensure that the team is aware of those norms, and reinforc them when needed.

• Team work together seamlessy
• Project manager should focus on delegating, motivating, and providing feedback to keep up the team’s momentum

• Project wraps up
• Team disbands
• Celebrate final milestones and successes
