{{See also|Team development}}
Teams perform various processes during different periods of time. The processes can be performed when the team is undertaking specific activities, when the team is changing from one activity to the next, and during both periods of change and action when addressing relationships between the team members.<ref name="LePine2008" /> Teamwork processes fall into three categories:<ref name="Marks2001">{{cite journal|last1=Marks|first1=Michelle A.|first2=John E.|last2=Mathieu|first3=Stephen J.|last3=Zaccaro|year=2001|title=A Temporally Based Framework and Taxonomy of Team Processes|journal=Academy of Management Review|volume=26|issue=3|pages=356–376|doi=10.2307/259182|jstor=259182}}</ref><ref name="LePine2008">{{cite journal|last1=LePine|first1=Jeffery A.|first2=Ronald F.|last2=Piccolo|first3=Christine L.|last3=Jackson|first4=John E.|last4=Mathieu|first5=Jessica R.|last5=Saul|year=2008|title=A Meta-Analysis of Teamwork Processes: Tests of a Multidimensional Model and Relationships with Team Effectiveness Criteria|journal=Personnel Psychology|volume=61|issue=2|pages=273–307|doi=10.1111/j.1744-6570.2008.00114.x|issn=0031-5826|citeseerx=10.1.1.468.6198}}</ref>

===Transition processes===
These processes occur between periods of action. Team members can evaluate their overall performance as a team and on an individual level, give feedback to each other, make clarifications about the upcoming tasks, and make any changes that would improve the process of collaborating.{{clarify|reason=explain what the following list is for|date=August 2023}}
* Task Analysis
* Goal Specification
* Strategy Formulation
* Result oriented group

===Action processes===
These processes take place when the team takes steps to accomplish its goals and objectives. Team members keep each other informed about their progress and their responsibilities, while helping one another with tasks. Feedback and collaborative work continues in high levels throughout this process.{{clarify|reason=explain what the following list is for|date=August 2023}}
* Monitoring progress toward goals
* Systems Monitoring
* Team Monitoring and Backup Behavior
* Coordination

===Interpersonal processes===
These processes are present in both action periods and transition periods, and occur between team members. This is a continuous process, in which team members communicate thoughts and/or feelings concerning either another team member or a manner in which a task is being performed. Furthermore, team members encourage and support each other on their individual tasks.{{clarify|reason=explain what the following list is for|date=August 2023}}
* Conflict management
* Motivation and Confidence building
* Affect Management
Teamwork performance generally improves when a team passes through these processes, since processes like these enhance coordination and communication between the team members and therefore increase teamwork and collaborative work.<ref name="Cattani2013">{{cite journal|last1=Cattani|first1=G.|last2=Ferriani|first2=S.|last3=Mariani|first3=M.|first4=S.|last4=Mengoli|year=2013|title=Tackling the 'Galácticos' Effect: Team Familiarity and the Performance of Star-Studded Projects|journal=Industrial and Corporate Change|volume=22|number=6|pages=1629–62|doi=10.1093/icc/dtt001 |url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByE7rCUuloTlVEF2UFBjMURmX2s/edit?usp=sharing|url-access=}}</ref>
