"the most successful of WoW guilds spend minimal time in the Storming and Norming phases and maximum time in the Performing phase."

Gosh, thanks Captain Obvious!

It is interesting that Dr Amalea is applying Tuckman's model to WoW, but his/her post is little more than a rehash of the Wikipedia page describing the model - it makes few meaningful comments on its applicability to WoW group dynamics.

Now what would be interesting is seeing the theory translated into practical suggestions for guild and pug leaders and members, in terms of moving their group through the stages to performing.
