Your cross-functional project team of eight members has been working together for several months. Conflicts over roles and approaches that once slowed progress have largely disappeared. Members now reach out proactively to help one another, solve problems without involving you, and openly challenge ideas while staying focused on project objectives. Daily stand-ups are brief because issues have already been addressed offline, and velocity has steadily increased for four consecutive sprints. According to Tuckman's ladder of team development, which stage has the team most likely reached?
Tuckman's ladder describes how teams evolve from Forming, Storming, and Norming into the Performing stage. In Performing, true interdependence is evident: members collaborate with little oversight, resolve problems quickly, and maintain high productivity. The behaviors in the scenario-self-directed problem solving, mutual support, and sustained velocity-are hallmarks of this peak stage. In Storming, conflict would still be disruptive; in Forming, roles would be unclear; and in Norming, cooperation would be improving but usually not yet at the sustained, high-performance level depicted.
