===Focus on small teams===
Because of the features of face-to-face informal communication and cooperation, agile methodologies concentrate on small teams. Face-to-face communication becomes especially difficult when a teams are larger and there is need of more documentation, which is a deviation from the agile spirit. Meanwhile, agile methodologies characterise teams according to the changing environment to be self-organising, which is mainly feasible for small teams and it does not work well for larger teams, where it requires more time to self-organise.<ref name="sciento"/>

===Adapting the framework=== 
Project managers will try their best to adapt project framework to the project and it does not go the other way around. For every project, all project management activities are unique which is not always a good thing, an unknown territories are often difficult to manage.<ref name="lim"/>

===Flexibility===
As it is a flexible and iterative approach it can cause delays in time and budget overruns, the Adaptive Project Framework is not suitable for both construction projects or large-scale projects.<ref name="lim"/>

===Documentation===
During the maintenance and reuse of projects, the lack of documentation is known to be a main issue. Developers have little knowledge that causes confusion and problems about the entire project. The burn-out of the project team can result in a sudden loss of valuable knowledge which is difficult to complete without compromising cost, time and quality. Due to the lack of documentation, training the new team members is another problem.<ref name="sciento"/>
