There are many theories for the stages of team development. The Tuckman's model is one of them. This is a valid model that has been tested. Think of a team in which you have participated (project team at work, sports team, etc.). Think back on how the team formed from the first day until the end of the project or sporting season. Describe what took place.

• Do you feel your team followed any part of Tuckman's model?
• Based on what you have read and experienced about teams, how might teams act in a program as opposed to project?
