In a discussion I had recently someone mentioned that they had read a great book about team dynamics by Bruce Tuckman.
In it he talks about teams going through four phases of evolution.
- Forming
- Storming
- Norming
- Performing
The context to the conversation was around the idea that Rapid Results projects and the teams that they create often have the ability to eliminate or minimize the Storming/Norming phases. It was a very interesting discussion.
