	Taking a closer look at the project framework, it is divided into five phase strategy designed to provide clients the optimum business value from any cycle within defined limits of time and cost constraints imposed by the client. ''Figure 1'' shows a graphical portrait of the five phases, they consist of the project scope, the cycle plan, the cycle completion, the client checkpoint and finally post-version review. As mentioned before the APF is an iterative process, where in each cycle you iterate and also between cycles. In every cycle the development team and the client team come to learning and discover new potential opportunities to explore.<ref name="APF"/> An application of each phase is described in the following sub-chapters.

	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="~~lim2~~"/>		Because of the features of face-to-face informal communication and cooperation, agile methodologies concentrate on small teams.

	'''Adaptive Project Framework''' (APF) is used in project management and is part of the group of agile methodologies. In so-called traditional project management managers often approach investment projects as if surroundings and conditions behave in a stable way. However in modern society the volatility and the uncertainty need also to be taken into consideration in its business sector. Therefore traditional project management often does not work in new, difficult economy conditions, especially in software development. At the beginning of 21-century agile project management became widespread in science and practice. However solving the dilemmas of developing project with both agile and traditional project management became more difficult and the adaptive approach was invented to take advantage of and eliminating the disadvantages of both approaches mentioned above.<ref name="sciento"/>		'''Adaptive Project Framework''' (APF) is used in project management and is part of the group of agile methodologies.

	The goal of this article is to present ~~background~~ of Adaptive Project Framework~~, the~~ core values, ~~how~~ to ~~apply~~ the method, what advantages and disadvantages it ~~has and~~ finally its limitation of ~~the approach~~.		The goal of this article is to present an overview of the Adaptive Project Framework and count all its core values, including when to use this method. Then after the overview the application of this method is described with what advantages and disadvantages it comes with, finally a section with its limitation of this method.

	=Overview=		=Overview=
	Recognised strategic leader in the field of project management, Robert K. Wysocki published the book Adaptive Project Framework in 2010, where he describes the APF approach when managing complexity in uncertainty. The AFP method was created to help teams adapt continuously to projects changing environment. ~~This~~ is a systematic and structured process that allows project managers to enhance their decisions and practices during the project life cycle, based on learning from previous achieved results during the project. APF is designed to continually adapt to the changing situation of a project from its very beginning to its very end. Therefore, with this approach, nothing is fixed: neither the duration of the project, nor the budget, nor the risks, and everything can be continuously adjusted according to changes in the ~~project's~~ characteristics.<ref name="APFG"/>		Recognised strategic leader in the field of project management, Robert K.

	To implement the APF methodology successfully, project teams must be willing to accept and to adapt changes. It is a costumer driven process, where the client is involved in every stage of the process and even given the opportunity to control the direction of the project. ~~Consequently this~~ requires the project team to be effectively involved, acting with an open mind and trusting partnership.<ref name="Howto"/>		To implement the APF methodology successfully, project teams must be willing to accept and to adapt changes.

This consequently requires the project team to be effectively involved, acting with an open mind and trusting partnership with the client.<ref name="Howto"/>

	The APF project team is combined of the client team and the development team. Depending of the size of the project the client team can be a single person or multiple. In the client team there needs to be a single member in charge of the decision making, serving as a co-manager along with the development team leader. The development team is composed of technical professionals who are responsible for developing the project and producing the deliverables.<ref name="APF"/>		The APF project team is combined of the client team and the development team.

	A project scope is a variable from a traditional mindset and the general premise underlying the APF project, is not to plan the future, the future is unknown. In APF, planning is done in each completed cycle, this is to maximise business value by adjusting the project scope of the solution and make the client a central figure. Giving the client the opportunity to be in charge of deciding what should be changed and what direction the project is heading. ~~That~~ means that an APF projects are constantly corrected to ensure maximum business value. When time or money or both have been used up, the deliverables will have the greatest business value that could have been generated from the collective knowledge and learning of the client team and the development team. <ref name="APF"/>		A project scope is a variable from a traditional mindset and the general premise underlying the APF project is not to plan the future, the future is unknown.
