Tuckman development Tuckman’s development show how groups can be developed into real teams, from given the right sort of support. Tuckman identifies four stages. Forming – number of individuals come together. They are a loose collection with not clear purpose. Storming – the group begins of ideas but there is as yet little structure to the group and no plans to the group forward. Norming – the group beings to share ideas and the team brings to form. Decisions begin to be formulated. Performing – A clear organisational pattern is formed, based on mutual respect, the sharing of ideas and the drawing out of plans and proposals from all members of the team.
