They are comprised of 4 team members, i.e., Lea, George, Jacob, and Peter. After the project team was set-up, the team members were invited to a project meeting by John. In that Friday's meeting, John spotted George's work that has to be redone due to a defect. George has acknowledged that the defect was his fault, but he also claimed that he had tried to fix the defect as a result from previous work by Jacob and Lea. There was a quite debate among the team members about this matter, but the team members did not point fingers. John noticed this conflict, but he did not see the personal attack among them. They realized this issue and requested John to review the schedule after George proposed the action plan and the person in charge to correct the defect.John was pleased to see the outcome of this meeting and sought team commitment to fix this defect. Everyone was committed to doing the plan and would start the work the following Monday after the usual Friday bowling game night that has been done every week since 3 months ago. Questions: a. In which stage of the team development ladder do you think they were? Justify your answer. b. What was the next stage do you think this project team may become? Explain your response
