The plan is divided into two sections Team Strategy Plan and Conflict Management Plan. * * Team Strategy Plan: * There are five stages of group development forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The first stage forming is where team members meet and exchange information about each such as experiences and backgrounds. In this stage team members are accepting and avoiding conflict. The second stage is storming team members have different opinions of how and what thing should be done and who should be in control. This may cause some conflict within the teams. The third stage is norming where teams begin to work more effectively together. Team members respect each other’s opinion and differences. The fourth stage is performing teams are fully functional and accepted. Members have gotten to know each other by this stage and are able to the task at hand. The last stage is the adjourning stage where the task is coming to an end. * * One of the challenges we must teams face is conflict.
