Adjourning is the final stage of group development, as described by Bruce Tuckman in his model. This phase occurs after a team has completed its tasks and achieved its goals. Members reflect on their experiences, celebrate accomplishments, and discuss lessons learned. During the adjourning phase, team members may experience a sense of loss as they prepare to disband. It is important for leaders to facilitate this process, allowing individuals to express their feelings and acknowledge the contributions of each member. This helps foster positive relationships and encourages future collaboration.
