In 1965, Bruce W. Tuckman first defined a small group development model that describes four stages teams go through as  they develop and mature:

FORMING – Start Up

STORMING - Conflict

NORMING - Straightening Out

PERFORMING - Getting Great

The Manager’s Handbook For Virtual Teams lays out six exercises in each of the four stages that you can use to guide your team to higher levels of performance.
