Step 1- Problem or Opportunity Statement:

OOCEP “Oman Oil Company Exploration & Production” One of the OOC subsidiaries companies in Oil Exploration & production. One of its program to its personnel attanding program management course. PMI OOCEP2016 member came from OOCEP where they have different backgrounds.

The problem in the W1 of the course is how to apply Tuckman tools to identify the situation of the team come from different companies and what type of management is required to manage the team.

Step 2- Develop the “FEASIBLE Alternatives”:

One of the most influential models of teamwork theory was developed in 1965 by Bruce Tuckman. His original model identified four stages that all groups pass through as they move from “newly formed” to “high-performance” teams. In 1977, he revised the model to include a fifth stage. Those stages are Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning:

Stages of Group Development

Forming

During the Forming stage, members of the project team meet each other and learn about the tasks they will need to perform.

Storming

The Storming stage is characterized by interpersonal issues such as conflict and polarization.

Norming

As conflicts become less intense and the team members begin to understand and accept each other, the team will gradually move into the Norming stage.

Performing

In the Performing stage, team members are comfortable with each other and group norms have been accepted.

Adjourning

As the project comes to an end, the team moves into the Adjourning stage.

Step 3- Develop the Outcomes for Each Alternative:

Based on the survey given to the PMI OOCEP2016 team to identify the position of in the Tuckman’s model. The below table show the result for each team member:

#	Name	Forming	Storming	Norming	Performing
1	Hamood Al Rusheidi	23	21	27	30
2	Abdullah Al Ansari	23	19	31	37
3	Khamis AL Shukhaili	27	26	29	29
4	Mubarak Al Haddabi	22	20	25	31
5	Saud Al Bahri	28	20	28	32
6	Said Al Harrasy	27	22	32	36
7	Nasser Al Julandani	22	17	29	33
8	Salim Al Habsi	25	23	29	32
9	Mamood AL Shamsi	26	21	30	33
10	Talal Al Nahwi	27	18	29	28
Total		250	207	289	321

The above table shown the result have wider range of data. Delphi technique with Probability of 70 is decided to be used to identify PMI OOCEP2016 team in which stage based on Tuckman model .

Step 4- Selection of the Acceptable Criteria:

The below table shown the result with P70 using Delphi technique

Min	22	17	25	28
Most Likely	27	21	29	33
Max	28	26	32	37
Mean	26	21	29	33
St. Dev	1.0	1.5	1.2	1.5
Variance	1.0	2.3	1.4	2.3
P-70	26.86333	21.96167	29.45167	33.62833

Note: The Z factor is .53 from Standard Z table

The above table clearly shown that PMI OOCEP 2016 team still in forming stage .

Step 5- Compare and Analyses the Alternative:

The highest score is in the forming stage, and it is a good indication since the project is started last week and we are in the forming stage.

Step 6- Selection of the Preferred Alternative:

As we found in the previous step; forming stage is required leadership with telling style as Blanchard’s Situational Leadership model. The Leader should specifically instruct subordinates what to do and how to do it. The leader defines the roles of the individual or group and provides the what, how, why, when and where to do the task.

Step 7-Performance Monitoring and the Post Evaluation of Result:

PMI OOCEP 2016 still in the forming stage and it is required to monitoring the project team monthly to check if there are any improvement in the works and deliverables of the individual member.
