The municipal transit fare-system ART now has explicit working agreements, ART Sync runs to a shared agenda, and teams stop relitigating the same process fights every week. Which evolution is the RTE seeing?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the fare-system crew finally agrees how to pass the tools and stops rerunning last week's argument, that is norming. Working agreements and a usable ART Sync are the tells. Smooth is not the same as done, and it is not a secret storm either.
Full Explanation
Norming appears when the group establishes shared methods, working agreements, and more predictable collaboration. A fare-system ART that no longer relitigates the same process fights and can run ART Sync to an agreed agenda is exhibiting that stage. A written agenda alone does not mean forming, and calm is not automatic evidence of hidden storming or of adjourning. The RTE recognizes the progress and keeps coaching so norms stay explicit rather than assumed.
