• Enables us to use appropriate strategies to smooth the progress of a team as it evolves.

C7-129-16 Day 2

Things to Remember

• Different teams may proceed through different stages at different speeds.

• Members of a team should avoid making self-fulfilling prophecies about how long each stage will last.

• A team may sometimes regress to an earlier stage.

• It is possible for a team to be in different stages with respect to different aspects of its mission
