This paper umbrellas CoP into three characteristics: a practice, an identity, and a joint enterprise. After the paper defines community of practice, it is then organized into four brief "scenarios." The four scenarios are: division financial controllers, application development groups, executive assistants, and the officers. Within these scenarios, the authors provide questions that allow for more familiarity with CoP concepts. Through these scenarios, the reader is able to grasp the inner-works of CoP.
