Answer 1

Answer:

5 Stages of Team Development: Tuckman’s Group Development

Explanation:

Every team goes through the five stages of team development. First, here’s some background on team development. The first four stages of team growth were first developed by Bruce Wayne Tuckman and published in 1965.

His theory, called “Tuckman’s Stages”, was based on research he conducted on team dynamics. He believed (as is a common belief today) that these stages are inevitable in order for a group to grow to the point where they are functioning effectively together and delivering high quality results.

In 1977, Tuckman, jointly with Mary Ann Jensen, added a fifth stage to the 4 stages: “Adjourning.” The adjourning stage is when the team is completing the current project. They will be joining other teams and moving on to other work in the near future.

For a high performing team, the end of a project brings on feelings of sadness as the team members have effectively become one and now are going their separate ways.
