Question 5 part d (2 points)

When we look at Bruce Tuckman's stages of productive teams, he missed a few things. For example, teams do not always proceed directly through each one of the stages, and not necessary in the order he theorized. Which one of these is NOT something he missed?

Question 5 part d options:

	That teams should be able to make adjustments and ignore what level of the organization each team member represents.
	That as a team gets closer to its deadline it tends to work more intensively to get its work done.
	That storming can occur any time throughout the life of a team.
	That norming is when teams get to know each other and develop norms and expectations of behavior.
	That there are cycles of performance and planning/evaluation. (Hint - this is true, he did miss this)
