A Generic Model for Evaluating Team Performance

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a model or methodology for evaluating the proficiency or performance of military teams. The methodology is appropriate for evaluating the performance of any team type performing any of its assigned mission. The methodology contains procedures for assessing both team process (team behavior) and team outcome (team success). Application of the methodology to a specific team performing a specific mission generates information which is useful in identifying team training deficiencies and in establishing team training requirements. The procedure is also useful for assessing the effects of team training, i.e., for measuring the amount and kind of team proficiency realized as a result of specific training.
