You are managing a newly assembled team for a software development project. Lately, team members have been conflicting over task responsibilities, there are disagreements about project approaches, and some members are challenging your authority as the project manager. Which stage of team development is the team most likely experiencing?
The team is experiencing the storming stage of team development. In this stage, team members begin to push against established boundaries, conflicts arise due to differing opinions and working styles, and leadership may be challenged. Recognizing this stage allows the project manager to facilitate conflict resolution and help the team progress to the next stage. The forming stage is characterized by initial orientation and politeness. Norming is when the team starts resolving conflicts and establishes norms and cohesion. Performing is when the team operates efficiently towards the project goals with minimal supervision.
