Forming to Performing: The Evolution of an Agile Team

Using Bruce Tuckman’s [1] “Forming – Storming – Norming – Performing” model of team development we review the effects of change on our team through each stage. We go on to show how in certain cases this change is cyclic and techniques abandoned in one phase may well be re-introduced in another. While tools, techniques and processes may change we observed that despite the cultural change there is one thing that remains constant: The agile principles and values.
