Those phases of teamwork were identified by B.W. Tuckman in the "Tuckman model":
- forming, or coming together
- storming, or conflict
- norming, or working out the rules
- performing, or getting the job done
- adjourning, or ending the job (closure)
While the length of time different groups take to pass through each of these developmental stages varies, high team performance is usually not achieved until the group has passed through the first three stages.
