I used to work #ExtremelyHardcore because I was well treated, with great people in #highperformanceteams and managers I respected a lot. Not because the CEO wanted to treat me like sh*t

Even those that stay, won't respect #Elon now I suspect. What a debacle... #Twitter #TwitterMigration

So what should we do instead?

We should look at the empirical evidence. That tells us a few things. One that's really important is that the organisational context has a much bigger impact on team performance than things like team cohesion. So we should:
- empower teams properly
- create a climate for creativity
- have a clear vision, simplifying team goals
- encourage lateral inter-team communication

But if you read the literature on group performance, stage models are a niche interest. Stages are seen as emergent properties of the underlying processes and it's these processes and the factors that shape them that are the focus of the research. I summarised the research here https://medium.com/@parserdigital/agile-teams-what-the-evidence-tells-us-e36df8368dd7

This is important because it's these processes that actually create #HighPerformanceTeams - not the stages.

So why is Tuckman so popular?

6/n

For those who don't know, Tuckman proposed a 4 (later 5) stage model of group development - teams go through Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing (and Ajourning).

It's a widely adopted model of team performance - particularly in the #Agile community. It's the go-to framework for #HighPerformanceTeams - you need to guide them through these stages. It justifies long-running teams to maximise Performing.

I'll go through why it's wrong, why it's used, and what to use instead.

2/n

I thought I'd post a thread or two on some of my ideas around #Agile.

I'm going to start with a pet hate of mine: Tuckman's widely used team development model.

The problem is, #Tuckman was wrong.
