Abstract

There are various definitions of what a team is about. However, one of the most well-known is the one given by Katzenbach and Smith (1993) [1] according to which the team is a small number of people with complementary skills - talents dedicated to a common purpose, a set of performance objectives and an approach for which are mutually responsible. This definition is an extension of the definition given by Adair (1986) [2] as the responsibility of the members added at the latest's data. An important feature of the teams added by Mankin, Cohen and Bikson (1996) [3] is the interdependence of individual's activities, as the work of each member is dependent on the work of at least some other's members. Team Development is a method for developing a project team.[4] It refers to a process and activities for improving team performance.

The Team Development Process

The Team Development Process helps form a group into an aligned, focused, and motivated work team that strives for a common mission and is capable of delivering improved project results. The Team Development Process has three primary elements, each of which contributes significantly to the success of the process as a whole. The first element focuses on integration with the project work process.
