Which statement best describes Team Development?

• A. It is a short-term effort with a one-time fix.
• B. It focuses mainly on daily task assignments without system changes.
• C. It focuses on ongoing improvement and setting up systems for the project duration.
• D. It only documents past performance without improving it.

Answer: (C)

Team development focuses on building and sustaining team capability through ongoing improvement and by putting in place the systems, processes, and practices that support performance for the project’s duration. It’s not a one-time fix, and it isn’t just about assigning daily tasks without changing how the team works or its underlying processes. It also isn’t limited to recording what happened in the past without driving future gains. By establishing clear roles, communication norms, feedback loops, and continuous improvement efforts, the team can perform better now and adapt as the project evolves.
