What are the stages of a high-performing team in SAFe?

• Performing

• Storming

• Forming

• Norming

• Adjourning

Answer explanation

•Stage 5: Adjourning - In the adjourning stage the project is coming to an end and the team members are moving off in different directions. This stage looks at the team from the perspective of the well-being of the team rather than from the perspective of managing a team through the original four stages of team growth. For high-functioning Agile Teams, the intent is for the teams to be long-lived. Teams are not adjourned at the end of a project; instead, they are formed around value delivery to allow them to exist beyond the completion of any single project or product.
