There are many signs of problems that you should be on the lookout for. Here are some of the common ones:

• Team members are very quiet and do not participate. Do not assume that everything is fine with them.

• When you sit and listen to what team members talk about during breaks, you find that they are never talking about the project. This is a sign of trouble. If the project was interesting or exciting, then they should be discussing their work.

• When you talk to two team members who are working together on tasks, you find that you are getting very different views of the work. What is going on? They have probably divided up the work to do it individually. You should get them back working together. Maybe, you should have meetings with both of them at the same time.
