The Worth of Steady Digital Team Formation Strategy A Case Study of
Bruce Tuckman's Model in Software Industry
Abstract
Digital workplace has become an integral part of the modern world
(Thomas, 2011). Employees are communicating and collaborating digitally
in unprecedented ways, where people are working remote without having
handshake and/or a face to face experience one another (Suri, 2019). In
such work environments, purpose oriented team development is an
archetypal ingredient in the formation of strong team destined to
success (Gregory, 2018). This article closely examines Tuckman’s model
of team formation and tries to stress the relevance of the model in
building a focused kind of digital team in the digital world. To this
end, the study emphases on descriptive analysis of the information
gathered from secondary data sources, along with primary data obtained
thru questionnaire and interviews from IT professionals engaged in
digital teams. The finding exhibits that Tuckman’s model can have a
significant contribution in an attempt to build a purpose oriented
digital team in the IT industry, and by so doing enhance precision,
innovation, and aptitude while adding upon the quality of the product.
