Team Performance Curve

The Team Performance Curve describes how a team’s effectiveness changes over time, especially during a new project or when members work together for the first time. Initially, performance might be low as team members are getting to know each other, but as they communicate and collaborate, their productivity improves. With experience, the team reaches a peak of high performance. However, if challenges or conflicts arise, performance can dip before recovering or declining. This curve helps understand that team productivity varies through different stages, emphasizing the importance of support and patience during the early phases.
