Forming - A group comes together and they establish common themes/ideas
Storming - The group then exchanges ideas and information. There may be disagreements at this point.
Norming - The group comes together and agrees on common ideas/themes
Performing - The group then starts to work together to produce the required end product

Example:
A group of professionals meet. Pleasantries and chatting about why they are there. Different people come with different agendas, for example a teacher and policeman. Argument pursues. If a leader isn't established then only the strongly opinionated will speak. Compromise or negotiation until they come to an agreement. Plan what to do when, where, how and with whom.
