Tuckman's 5 Stage Model

In this model, groups progress through five stages as they develop into effective project teams.

1.Forming.

2.Storming.

3.Norming..

4.Performing..

5.Adjourning.

Punctuated Equilibrium Model

In this model, the project team is formed at the beginning of the project. However, little progress is actually made early in the project, because these team members are likely also working on other projects that have a higher priority. At some point during the project, a trip point is reached. This occurs when team members see the deadline of this project rapidly approaching and little progress being made. At this point, progress on the project rapidly increases to help ensure the project's success. It is much like the two-minute warning in football. The entire game plan changes at the two-minute warning. Studies have shown this model is the more appropriate model for team members who have worked together.
