Question:Tuckman identified four stages in group development, which occur in a particular order.
  What is the order in which the stages occur?
  A. Storming, norming, forming, performing
  B. Forming, norming, storming, performing
  C. Forming, storming, norming, performing
  D. Storming, forming, performing, norming
  The correct answer is: Forming, storming, norming, performing.
  Forming is the stage where the team comes together. Storming happens next; the group re-assesses its targets and (hopefully) trust between group members develops. Norming is a period of settling down, when the group established norms and procedures for doing their work. Performing then occurs; the team sets to work to execute its task and the difficulties of development no longer hinder it.
