Lifecycle of teams

There are 4 lifecycles for a team:

1. Forming (e.g. Roles are still undefined)
2. Storming
3. Norming
4. Performing

In addition, one can break out 4 types of team-members:

1. Tasks (i.e. the workhorse)
2. Pragmatic (i.e. the projectmanager)
3. Process (i.e. the moderator/facilitator)
4. Creatives (i.e. the resource person, agitator or synthesizer)

All four are essential and beneficial to a team.
