After reading this case study and reviewing our textbook, I have concluded that this group is definitely in the Norming stage of team development. According to our text, " The Norming stage of team development sometimes called initial integration, is the point at which the members really start to come together as a coordinated unit." (pg. 157). This is the stage where things are starting to come together and any bickering that may have been going on has ceased to continue. This team would almost be ready to go into the Performing Stage except for one setback…

This happens because the team members have an understanding of the task and a general feel for who they are as a team and who group members are, they feel confident and begin to address some of the more important issues surrounding the group. Such issues can relate to things like the group’s tasks, individual roles and responsibilities or even with the team members themselves. They have different opinions on what should be done and how it should be done.

At this stage the people within the group try to establish/push themselves forward.…

First, here is a summary of the development stages of a team. In the forming stage, team members come togetherand form initial impressions. They socialize in order to get to know each other and bond with other team members. In the storming stage, team members experience hostility and infighting over tasks and how the team works. In the norming stage, team members start to come together and realize what needs to be accomplished. In the performing stage, team members are well-organized and well-functioningand maintain a positive balance. In the adjourning stage, team members achieve closure when the project is accomplished.…
The first stage is Forming, this stage is important because the team members get to know each other and become friendly. At first team members tend to behave independently and although goodwill may exist they do not know each other well enough to unconditionally trust one another.…
