In which stage do members agree on a common goal and assign tasks?

• A. Forming
• B. Storming
• C. Norming
• D. Performing

Answer: (C)

This question tests understanding of how teams mature and organize themselves. When a group moves into the Norming stage, members start to align on a shared goal and establish how they will work together. Norming brings cohesion: roles and responsibilities are clarified, norms are set, and collaboration improves. It’s at this point that tasks get assigned as people agree who does what to move toward the common objective. By contrast, Forming is about getting to know each other and figuring out goals, while Storming brings conflicts as differences are expressed, and Performing comes once the team is smoothly working toward goals with established processes.
