# Tuckman's stages of group development
Bruce Tuckman studied team dynamics in the 1960s and discovered a model for the stages of group or team development.
1. **Forming**
Group comes together for first time and talks about 'why are we here,' 'what are we doing,' and 'what's our goal?'
2. **Storming**
Phase where conflict starts. People are moving in different directions and there's a bit of chaos.
3. **Norming**
If group makes it through storming phase, there's some agreement and people start moving in the same direction.
4. **Performing**
Successful groups make it to this stage where everyone is working together like a well-oiled machine.
