Document Summary
The five-stage model of group development: forming: Uncertainty about purpose, structure, and leadership: storming: Intragroup conflict as members resist constraints: norming: Group is cohesive with strong group identity: performing: Group fully functional and working toward goals: adjourning: The five stage group development model characterizes groups as moving through five distinct stages in the group process. They are forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. The forming stage is filled with uncertainty as group members figure out their roles and the group norms. The storming stage occurs as the roles are continued to be developed and conflict arises between group members. As members develop closer relationships and a sense of cohesiveness they move into the norming stage. When the group is functioning well together and achieving their goals they are in the performing stage. If it is a temporary group they will wrap up activities and adjourn in the final stage.
