The newly formed city permits portal ART is polite in every room, asks the RTE what the "usual" working agreements are, and still cannot say who speaks for architecture in ART Sync. Which group-dynamics stage is the ART showing?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A brand-new permits crew that is polite, lost, and looking at the RTE for the house rules is forming, not flying. Courtesy is not a delivery forecast. Names, norms, and who speaks for architecture still have to get real.
Full Explanation
Tuckman's forming stage shows dependence on the leader, unclear roles, and tentative politeness. A new ART that cannot name architecture's voice in ART Sync and asks for "usual" working agreements is in that pattern. Politeness is not evidence of performing, and unclear norms are not a reason to adjourn. The RTE coaches forming: make roles explicit, draft working agreements, and expect later storming rather than declaring the train mature.
