The Tuckman and Jensen's (1977) five-stage model of group process provides guidelines for potential behavior of team members in collaborative groups. During the norming stage, which is the third stage of team process, team members begin to show effective cooperation and collaboration. The forming stage occurs when the group first forms and focuses on relationship building. The next stage (storming) includes interpersonal interaction and reaction. The fourth stage, performing, is where the group matures and has stable relationships, and the bulk of the appointed tasks are done. The final stage is adjourning where termination and closure occur.
