Which is a correct description of how Tuckman's five phases of team development work in practice?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Tuckman's five phases of team development are a model that describes how teams evolve and mature over time. The five phases are: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In practice, teams may not follow these phases in a linear or sequential way, but may go backwards or oscillate between the stages depending on various factors, such as changes in goals, leadership, membership, or context. Therefore, team leaders and members need to be aware of the current stage of their team and adapt their behaviors and actions accordingly.

Tuckman's model shows teams can revisit stages, so C makes sense.

Not sure about that, I thought once you’re performing, you stay there.

Wait, so they can actually oscillate? That’s interesting!

I think teams definitely can go back to earlier stages.

I recall that not all teams spend equal time in each stage; it really depends on the dynamics.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like saying teams never return to a stage seems too absolute.

I think I saw a practice question that mentioned teams oscillating between stages, so I might lean towards that one.

I remember discussing how teams can actually move back to earlier stages, especially during conflicts.

Ah, I think I've got it. The record type of the Opportunity records must have been changed, preventing the reactivated user from accessing them. That's my best guess.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between updating the Sync Filter and the View filters. I'll need to research that a bit more.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the IANA manages internet protocols and addresses, but I can't remember the specific port range off the top of my head. I'll have to think this through carefully.
