The five stages of team development, as identified by Bruce Tuckman, are indeed Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning. These stages describe the path that teams follow on their way to high performance. During the Forming stage, team members are introduced. They state why they were chosen or volunteered for the team and what they hope to accomplish within the team. The Storming stage is characterized by competition and conflict in personal relations. In the Norming stage, the team manages to have one goal and come to a mutual plan for the team at this point. During the Performing stage, the team works on reaching the goal, as they are motivated and knowledgeable. The Adjourning stage occurs when the team completes the project and moves on from the project.
