The forming stage is characterized by group members getting to know each other, forming initial impressions, and establishing goals and objectives. As the individual members come together and begin to understand their tasks and objectives, they start to enter the storming stage, during which personality clashes or power struggles may occur. Norming comes after the storming stage, during which the group begins to develop a sense of unity and cohesion, and performance improves. Performing is the stage at which the group is functioning effectively, while adjourning occurs when the task at hand is completed, and the group disbands. As the workgroup has just started, they are still in the forming stage.
