Performing
This is when the team is progressing rapidly, tasks get done and the team is continuously getting closer to the goal. Brainstorming sessions and meeting are now productive where everyone is focused on knowing what their specific commitments are and how best they can contribute to the team. There is a sense of attention to detail and a focus on increasing productivity. Discussions are about how to finish off the task within the quality constraints as soon as possible or at least on schedule. As the team achieves milestones, the team’s confidence is increased, and the external encouragement reinforces team’s bonding. Members are now proud of their membership in the team. Members trust each other more, are open, know what they want individually and as a team and respect each other’s corresponding skills and contributions.
