The Forming – Storming – Norming – Performing-Adjourning model
of group development maintained that these phases are all necessary
and inevitable in order for the team to grow, to face up to challenges, to
tackle problems, to find solutions, to plan work, and to deliver results.

Team Dynamics
Team and group dynamics are influenced by many factors, such as
The larger context in which the team operates,
The organization,
The team identity itself, and
The mix of individuals within the team.
The country and geographic region form a larger culture in which the
organization operates. All of these contribute to the economic, political,
technical, and cultural climates in which the organization, the team, and the
individuals operate.
The Organization
The Individuals
Within this mix of influences are the individual team
members who likely have specific kinds of work to perform
and specific roles on the team. Individual members influence
the team dynamics as well, so much so that when the
composition of the team changes, the team dynamics will
change.

trust between them. They are sometimes difficult exercises to implement as
there are varying degrees of trust between individuals and varying degrees
of individual comfort trusting others in general.

Motivation
Intrinsic motivation causes people to participate in an
activity for their own enjoyment

10.Kickoff meeting, the first meeting with the project team and the
client of the project to discuss the role of each team member
2.At the front of the room, equipment is provided to record ideas and
decisions. An easel holding a newsprint flip chart (with felt-tipped markers
for writing) is preferable, so the recorded data can be saved. A white
board (with special felt-tipped markers) or a chalkboard and chalk can be
used, but must be erased after the meeting.
5.At least once or twice during the meeting, someone asks, "How are we
doing in our process today? How can we be more productive?"
6.During the meeting, someone records the ideas generated and the
decisions made. These data are prepared in handout form afterward and
distributed to all concerned.
7.The meeting notes indicate who has agreed to do what before the next
meeting, and by when.
8.Dates of future meetings (not just the next meeting) are set well in
advance so people can make arrangements to attend.
10.At the end of the meeting, people review and confirm who will be
doing what before the next
