Bruce Tuckman’s 5 stages of team development:

1. Forming
   Direct the team and establish clear objectives, both for the team as a whole and for individual team members.
2. Storming
   Resolve conflicts swiftly if they occur. Provide support, especially to those team members who are less secure.
3. Norming
   Step back and help team members take responsibility for progress toward the goal.
4. Performing
   Delegates tasks and projects as far as you can. Once the team achieves well, you should aim to have as light a touch as possible.
5. Adjourning
   Take the time to celebrate the team’s achievement-it will be much easier if people view past experiences positively.
