Look back at a recent project youve completed, or might still be involved with. Look at how the team functioned, and the identity that was formed.

• Discuss the group in terms of the nine situational factors that influence team development. What factors positively contributed to group performance? What factors negatively contributed to group performance? How did the group try to overcome the negative factors? What could you have done differently to overcome these negative factors?
• Discuss how effectively the group managed meetings. What did the group do well? What didnt the group do well? If the group were formed again, what specific recommendations would you make about how the group should manage meetings?
• What could the team do to strengthen team identity?
• What kind of informal activities could be used to rejuvenate the team? Why would these activities work?
