Rationale: Adjourning is where the group sees itself as having fulfilled its purpose, and there is aprocess of disconnecting
from the task and group - because there will have to be a renegotiation of aims and roles for the new task. Dorming is where a group grows complacent about performance. Norming is a much earlier stage in the cycle, where the group reaches agreement about work methods, roles and behaviours.Pitfalls: Dorming and adjourning are all late stages of group development, and can be confused if you are not clear about them. Although 'forming, storming, norming and performing' is better known,
these additional stages are part of Tuckman's model.
