Question

When team members experience conflict because they are trying to make sense of competing ideas about how the team should work, they are in the storming stage of team development?

Answer 1

The statement above is TRUE. Team development is divided into five distinct stages which are: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjoining. The storming stage is the stage where team members bring their divergent ideas to the table about how the team should work. Conflicts usually arise during this period and it is the least productive stage of the team development.
