1. Orientation stage (forming)
In the forming phase there is no group feeling yet.
Individual positions and roles are not shaped yet. Group
members have a wait-and-see direction attitude and
need instructions.
2. Conflict stage (storming)Group members try to take their positions in the group. This process often results in a conflict between group members because of a conflict of ideas.
3. Norming stage (norming)
Members gradually grow closer to each other. Rules and methods of cooperation are specified. The common team goals are shared and decided on. A more mature way of working and cooperating starts to develop. The members obtain a clearer view of their personal role in the team.
4. Achievement stage (performing)
We now talk of a real team. Team members compliment each other and work harmoniously towards the mutual team goals. The mature team is capable of working autonomously.
5. Closing- final reflection stage (adjourning)
In the closing phase of the project, the team reflects/
evaluates the personal contribution and the team result.
After that, the team is adjourned.
