Group Development Theory!
Bruce W. Tuckman

Best known for his article published in 1965, "Development Sequence in Small Groups", in which Tuckman states his theory that groups undergo four stages in development: Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. In 1977, he refined the model by adding a fifth stage: Adjourning. The Tuckman model is widely regarded as one of the most influential group development models.
