The teamprocess
Every team goes through a process at least once. This process contains four stages: forming, storming, norming and performing.
The forming stage is about the introduction of the team members and the team members to get to know each other and the other member’s personalities and skills. This is a stage of transition from a group of individual people to a team.
As the members get to know each other and grows as a group they will likely go to the next stage that is storming. The members will have different opinions about how the team should operate and who will take which role. There will be many conflicts in this stage that has to me solved before the team can move over to the next stage. A good team will find solutions to the conflict and then be able to move forward. This is a very difficult stage to be in and is all about communication and coming up with compromises.
After solving the conflict the team can move forward to the next stage that is norming. They have found the working method that works for every member in the team and everyone is willing to share their skills in the team. Everyone gets to say their opinion and the work is moving forward. Cooperation and collaboration replace the conflict and mistrust of the previous phase.
The last stage that the team will enter is performing. Every teammate is working to reach the team goals. Relationships are settled, and team members are likely to build loyalty towards each other. The team can manage more complex and challenging tasks and succeed with what they are doing.
A team can go through this process several times during their work. If new teammates arrive then the team will probably go back to the first stage and start the process all over again or if a person changes then the group has to start again the forming process.
