Tuckmans 5 Stage Model
Posted by Kate in E-Learning Project Design
Tuckman’s (Robbins et. al, 2001, p. 273) 5 stage model explains the 5 phases in the team life cycle. That is;
Forming – characterised by uncertainty
Storming – characterised by intra-team conflict
Norming – characterised by cohesiveness
Performing – characterised by functionality
Adjourning – characterised by conclusion of tasks.
I believe our team is somewhere in between the storming and norming phase of the team life cycle, while we are starting to become more cohesiveness there are still aspects of the intra – team conflict that have been present in earlier weeks.
