Michael is part of an organizational behavior project group. The group decided on the overall theme of its project and individual members are now completing specific sections of the project. Michael has been e-mailing Rachel almost every day asking her opinion on various parts of his section. The group tends to sit together in class and they have even decided to go out for coffee after class next Tuesday. What phase of group development is Michael's group in?

The correct answer to the following question will be "Performing".

Explanation:

A group as well as an organization that enters the phase of performing shows a level of maturity, confidence, or expertise that is somewhat evident throughout the earlier phases of organization growth. Maybe you were part of the community that played a crucial role in ensuring an organization gets something significant done. Of this kind achievements also occur throughout community growth during most of the success phase.

So that performing group development process is the community in which Michael resides.
