Which activity is focused on keeping the group on task?

The activity that is focused on keeping the group on task is primarily associated with the norming phase of group development. During this phase, team members establish norms, develop relationships, and create strategies for the group's operations. By doing so, they collaboratively outline how to best stay focused on their objectives.

While storming involves addressing conflicts and differing opinions, it does not primarily aim to keep the group on task. The forming phase is about team members getting to know one another and understanding the group's purpose, which does not yet involve deep task focus. Performing is associated with high-functioning teams where tasks are executed effectively, but it assumes that prior phases are navigated successfully, including the establishment of norms for keeping the group on task.
