7. TRANSITION PROCESSES
 These processes occur between periods of action. In this
period, the team members can evaluate their overall
performance as a team as well as on an individual level,
give feedback to each other, make clarifications about the
upcoming tasks, and make any changes that would
improve the process of collaborating.
 Task Analysis
 Goal Specification
 Strategy Formulation

8. ACTION PROCESSES
 These processes take place when the team attempts to accomplish its
goals and objectives. In this stage, team members keep each other
informed about their progress and their responsibilities, while helping
one another with certain tasks. Feedback and collaborative work
continues to exist in high levels throughout this process.
 Monitoring progress toward goals
 Systems Monitoring
 Team Monitoring and Backup Behavior

9. INTERPERSONAL PROCESSES
 These processes are present in both action periods and transition
periods, and occur between team members. This is a continuous
process, in which team members must communicate any thoughts
and/or feelings concerning either another team member or a manner in
which a task is being performed. Furthermore, team members
encourage and support each other on their individual tasks.

10. STAGES
 Forming
 Storming
 Norming
 Performing
Prepared By: Sneha Pai 10

11. Forming
 This stage is described by approach/avoidance issues, as well as internal
conflicts about being independent vs. wanting to be a part of the team.
 Team members usually tend to 'play it safe' and minimize their risk
taking in case something goes wrong.
 Teamwork in this stage is at its lowest levels.

12. STORMING
 The second stage is characterized by a competition for power and
authority, which is the source of most of the conflicts and doubts about
the success of the team.
 If teamwork is low in this stage, it is very unlikely that the team will get
past their conflicts. If there is a high degree of teamwork and
willingness to collaborate, then the team might have a brighter future.

13. NORMING
 The third stage is characterized by increasing levels of
solidarity, interdependence, and cohesiveness, while
simultaneously making an effort to adjust to the team
environment.
 This stage shows much higher levels of teamwork that
make it easier for the above characteristics to occur.

14. PERFORMING
 This final stage of team development includes a comfortable
environment in which team members are effectively completing tasks in
an interdependent and cohesive manner.
 This stage is characterized by the highest levels of comfort, success,
interdependence, and maturity, and therefore includes the highest
levels of teamwork
