tackman model

The opinion, asserted in 1965, that there are four phases in the formation process of an organization.

Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing

Assume that the four phases come in sequence

This claim has not been experimentally verified.

Storm can happen at any time in Norm and Perform

This is more realistic.

We looked at 368 teams and found that this model fits better.

Only six cases follow the Tuckman model.

DAU is the name of the university (Defense Acquisition University). Give it a more proper name, I feel.

The development of small, short duration technical teams in particular and technical teams in

general appears to follow a variant of the Tuckman model (F<S<N<P). This model, which will

be called the DAU model, has three discrete stages (F<N<P) and one continuous

Brainstorming stage that takes place over the entire duration of the group. The brainstorming

activity can be described as group members challenging each other’s ideas and approaches in a

cooperative way with the intention of producing a better product or improving the group’s

process (efficiency and productivity).
