Team-development models are conceptual frameworks that outline the stages teams typically go through as they develop and mature. These models help organizations understand, facilitate, and improve team dynamics, communication, and productivity. Common models include Tuckman's Stages of Group Development (forming, storming, norming, performing) and the GRPI model (Goals, Roles, Processes, Interpersonal relationships). They serve as valuable tools for leaders and team members to navigate challenges and enhance collaboration.
