Wenger points out that communities of practice develop their practice through a variety of activities like problem solving, requests for information, seeking and sharing experience, reusing assets, coordination and synergy, discussing developments, documentation projects, mapping knowledge and identifying gaps.

However, the very characteristics that make communities of practice a good fit for stewarding knowledge—autonomy, practitioner-orientation, informality, crossing boundaries—are also characteristics that make them a challenge for traditional hierarchical organizations.
