W1__Hamda__Tuckman Analysis Assignment__



1-       Problem Definition

After completion the first stage in PMP course which was conducted in Muscat from 29th of October 2017 to 2nd of November 2017 which was Face to Face stage, and following the formation of the OPWP-PMP team during this stage, the team is starting the second stage in this program which is the Distance Learning. Weekly Blog is one of the tasks in this stage. The first topic of the first weekly blog is suggested by Dr.Paul which is using Tuckman’s Model to know in which phase of this model the team is operated in and which style of leadership should be adopted in order to develop the team to achieve its goals.

2-       Identify the Feasible Alternative

The Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing model of group development was first proposed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965 who maintained that these phases are all necessary in order to develop the team, to face up any challenges, to find the suitable solutions in order to tackle any problem, to plan work, and to deliver results as desired. Tuckman model explains that as the team develops maturity and ability, relationships establish, and the leader changes leadership style.

For each phase/stage in the Tuckman model, there is a certain style of leadership that can be used by the team leader in order to lead the team to achieve the team goal.                                                                                                                                                                               



3-        Development of the outcome of Alternative

The result of this assessment is coming from the questionnaire by using Donald Clark’s survey which was filled by OPWP-PMP team members. The questionnaire consists of 32 statements about teamwork which are scored by using scale as defined in the questionnaire.

4-       Selection Criteria

Table 1 shows the results of the average score of each phase in the model. As shown, there is a small difference between the score of Forming and Storming stages, and a small difference between Norming and Performing stages. Moreover, the Performing stage has the highest score, which means that the OPWP-PMP team is in Performing Stage. And this indicates that the team is committed to perform well.

5-       Analysis and comparison of the Alternative

The highest average score we got from the questionnaire done by the team members is for the Performing Stages, this indicates that the team members at this level have a clear understanding of what is required of them at a task level, they are performing at high level, and they are able to work towards achieving the goal. The lowest average score is for the Storming stage.

6-       Selection of the preferred Alternative

Since the OPWP-PMP team is operated in a Performing Stage, it requires delegated tasks and projects from the leader. So the team leader shall use the Delegating style of leadership.

7-        Performance Monitoring and the Post Evaluation of result

The performance of the team can be monitored and improved by giving each member a responsibility to ensure that the team members are working together in achieve the main goals of the teamwork. Evaluating the team work statement shall be doing from one time to another to ensure that the team is always operating in the Performing stage.
