Adjourning is the final stage of the Tuckman's stages of group development, where a team disbands after achieving its goals. During this phase, members reflect on their experiences, celebrate accomplishments, and discuss lessons learned. This process helps individuals gain closure and recognize their contributions.
In this stage, team dynamics may shift as members prepare to move on to new projects or roles. It is essential for leaders to facilitate discussions that acknowledge the team's journey, ensuring that everyone feels valued and appreciated before the group officially concludes its work.
