When forming a project team, there are a number of phases. When a project team is productive and effective this phase is known as which of the following?

Forming is the initial stage where team members are introduced, roles are unclear, and individuals are polite but not yet productive.

Norming is the stage where the team establishes agreed-upon processes and begins to work cohesively, but has not yet reached peak productivity.

Tuckman's five-stage model - Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning - describes the maturation of a team over time. The Performing stage is specifically characterized by a team that is cohesive, self-directing, and highly productive, requiring minimal supervision. This is the phase where the team focuses entirely on achieving project goals rather than navigating interpersonal or process issues.

Storming is characterized by conflict, competition, and disagreement as team members assert their ideas and challenge each other.
