Project Life Cycle Phases

Because milestones were not being achieved, a project manager chose to add more developers to the critical tasks to accelerate deliverable completion. However, the developers’ performance did not improve. To which team life-cycle stage should the project manager move next?

  • A Forming
  • B Norming
  • C Storming
  • D Adjourning
Explanation

When new team members are added, the team re-enters the Storming stage of the Tuckman model, where conflicts and role adjustments surface as members work through new interpersonal dynamics and processes. Simply adding developers without allowing the team to re-form and re-adjust their working relationships does not immediately improve performance; the team must move through Storming before reaching higher productivity in the Norming stage. Forming (A) occurs at team inception, Norming (B) follows successful conflict resolution, and Adjourning (D) occurs at project end.
