2023 Update


In 2008, Scott M. Graffius started developing material on advancing teams’ happiness, productivity, and success. His respective Phases of Team Development content factors the work of Dr. Bruce W. Tuckman and Mary Ann C. Jensen; Graffius's experience, observation, and analysis; and research, recommendations, and coverage from additional sources (examples are listed below).

The Phases of Team Development highlights the performance level, characteristics, and proven strategies for each of the five phases: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning. Project Managers, Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, DevOps Leads, and other leaders can apply the information to help handle challenges or issues experienced by teams. By doing so, they’ll advance the teams' (and their own) happiness, productivity, and success.

This article and the accompanying visual provides the updated 2023 version of the Phases of Team Development.

Five Phases of Team Development

1. Forming

Characteristics of Forming include displaying eagerness, socializing, generally polite tone, sticking to safe topics, unclear about how one fits in, and some anxiety and questioning.

Strategies for this phase include taking the ‘lead,’ being highly visible, facilitating introductions, providing the ‘big picture,’ establishing clear expectations, communicating success criteria, and ensuring response times are quick.

2. Storming

Traits of Storming include some resistance, lack of participation, conflict based on differences of opinions, competition, and high emotions.

Strategies for this phase include requesting and encouraging feedback, identifying issues and facilitating their resolution, normalizing matters, and building trust by honoring commitments.

3. Norming

Features of Norming include purpose and goals are well-understood, more confident, improved commitment, members are engaged and supportive, relief (lowered anxiety), and developing cohesion.

Strategies for this phase include recognizing individual and team efforts, providing learning opportunities and feedback, and monitoring the ‘energy’ of the team.


4. Performing

Characteristics of Performing include high motivation, trust, and empathy; individuals defer to team needs; effectively producing deliverables; consistent performance; and demonstrations of interdependence and self-management.

Strategies for this phase include ‘guiding from the side’ (minimal intervention), celebrating successes, and encouraging collective decision-making and problem-solving.

5. Adjourning

Typical traits of Adjourning (also referred to as Transitioning or Mourning) include potential sadness, recognition of team and individual efforts, and disbanding.

Strategies for this phase include recognizing change, providing an opportunity for summative team evaluations ('lessons learned'), providing an opportunity for individual acknowledgments, and celebrating the team’s accomplishments — which may involve a party and possibly an after-party.

Top 5 Roles on AI Teams

Scott M Graffius - Top Five Roles on AI Teams - v Oct 8 2023 LwRes

Scott_M_Graffius_-_Blog_Spacer_-_v23111107_-_Introduction

Effective Artificial Intelligence (AI) teams leverage critical hard skills and soft skills to develop and deliver successful AI products, including innovative solutions that address real-world challenges and have a positive impact on the world. (If you’d like to learn about the critical skills leveraged by effective AI teams, select here for our popular article on the topic.) This article focuses on the roles on AI teams.

Scott_M_Graffius_-_Blog_Spacer_-_v23111107_-_Main

The composition (size and roles) of AI teams varies by organization based on the respective company’s needs, the nature of the AI endeavor including complexity, and other factors. However, AI teams commonly include (at least these) five positions. Here are the five along with brief descriptions, listed in alphabetical order:

  1. AI Research Scientist: AI research scientists are responsible for conducting research and developing cutting-edge AI algorithms and models.
  2. AI Software Engineer: AI software engineers are responsible for integrating AI components into software applications. They bridge the gap between AI research and practical implementation, making AI systems usable by end-users.
  3. Data Engineer: Data engineers are responsible for building and managing the data pipelines that feed AI models. They ensure that data is collected, cleaned, and prepared in a format suitable for analysis and model training.
  4. Data Scientist: Data scientists are experts in data analysis and interpretation. They preprocess, analyze, and extract valuable insights from data, which is vital for training and improving AI models.
  5. Machine Learning Engineer: Machine learning engineers focus on implementing and deploying machine learning models into practical applications. They work to ensure that AI models are integrated into software systems effectively.

The above five roles collectively cover key aspects of AI development — from research and model creation to data management and software integration. Depending on requirements and characteristics (such as degree of complexity), additional positions may be needed.

An expanded list of 20 roles common to AI teams follow. Here are the aforementioned 5 and 15 additional positions, listed in alphabetical order:
  1. AI DevOps Engineer: Combines development and operations skills to streamline AI model deployment. They automate tasks.
  2. AI Ethicist: Ensures that AI systems are developed and used responsibly and ethically.
  3. AI Infrastructure Engineer: Builds and maintains the infrastructure required for AI model deployment and scalability.
  4. AI Legal and Compliance Specialist: Ensures AI projects comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
  5. AI Marketing Specialist: Promotes and markets AI products and solutions to customers and stakeholders.
  6. AI Operations (AIOps) Specialist: Focuses on the operational aspects of AI, including monitoring, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
  7. AI Product Manager: Oversees the development and deployment of AI products.
  8. AI Project Manager: Leverages general and specialized hard skills and soft skills, and applies their understanding of many aspects of artificial intelligence (such as machine learning, deep learning, automation, robotics, and natural language processing) to manage the planning, execution, and delivery of AI projects. Note: Titles vary by organization; the position may be called an AI Project Manager, AI Program Manager, Agile Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, Scrum Master, or another related designation.
  9. AI QA Engineer: Ensures the quality and reliability of AI models through testing and validation.
  10. AI Research Scientist: Conducts research to develop new AI algorithms and models.
  11. AI Software Engineer: Builds and maintains software systems that incorporate AI components.
  12. AI Trainer/Annotator: Prepares and labels data for training AI models, especially for supervised learning.
  13. AI UX/UI Designer: Designs user interfaces and experiences for AI-powered applications.
  14. Computer Vision Engineer: Specializes in developing AI models for image and video analysis.
  15. Data Analyst: Examines data to uncover trends and insights that can guide AI projects.
  16. Data Engineer: Manages data pipelines and prepares data for analysis and model training.
  17. Data Scientist: Analyzes and interprets data to extract insights and inform AI models.
  18. Deep Learning Engineer: Focuses on deep neural networks and architectures.
  19. Machine Learning Engineer: Focuses on implementing and deploying machine learning models.
  20. Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engineer: Specializes in working with text and language-related AI tasks.

The composition (size and roles) of AI teams varies, based on the complexity of the AI project and other factors. On smaller teams, individuals often ‘wear multiple hats.’ On larger teams, individuals typically have more specialized roles.

Scott_M_Graffius_-_Blog_Spacer_-_v23111107_-_Conclusion

This article covered the roles common to AI teams. Listings are not exhaustive of all potential positions. Additionally, as the field of AI continues to evolve and advance, new roles may materialize to address emerging challenges and opportunities.
