The team clock method allows to analyze the own group situation: The four phases describe: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing.

The Team Clock Method, also known as the Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing model, was developed by psychologist Bruce Tuckman in 1965. It describes the stages that teams typically go through to become high-performing, productive units. Forming: The team is newly formed, and members are getting to know each other. Roles and responsibilities may not yet be clear, and there’s a focus on establishing relationships and understanding the group's purpose. Storming: Conflict arises as team members begin to express differing opinions and clash over roles, leadership, and processes. This is a critical phase where tensions can emerge as the team works through interpersonal and task-related issues. Norming: The team starts to resolve conflicts, and agreements on roles, expectations, and processes are established. Trust grows, communication improves, and members begin to collaborate more effectively. Performing: The team reaches optimal performance, working efficiently and effectively toward their shared goals. Members are motivated, autonomous, and able to make decisions without conflict.
