The phases or stages in the life cycle of any team are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. This model was developed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965 and is widely recognized and used in the context of team management and development. The stages represent the natural process of how a team evolves over time, starting from forming (when the team comes together), through storming (when conflicts arise), norming (when the team finds its rhythm), and finally performing (when the team achieves its goals). The adjourning phase refers to the ending of the team's work together.
