 ## Challenges
 We successfully built a functional CD pipeline. In the end, we took over the
 deployment process from the government. That allowed us to survive into an
-unstable political scenario. However, we recognized that many challenges still
-need to be addressed by the industry and academia together.  Build CD from
-scratch

-Taking on CD responsibilities had a significant impact on the team. We did not
-have the know-how and had little time to come up with a working pipeline. To
-make things worse, we were not aware of how companies normally organized their
-teams to make CD feasible.

+### Build CD from scratch
-The seniors were crucial at this point. They came up with an initial solution
-to get us started. That already enabled us to automatize the deploy, even
-though the process was still rudimentary. We had to evolve our solution
-on-the-fly. We dedicated a few developers to this task.

+Building a CD pipeline was hard in the beginning, and we succeed thanks to the
+seniors experience. We believe that more tools that provide out-of-the-box
+standardized CD pipelines would be of great help for inexperienced teams. Tools
+that track each step of the pipeline and organize logs in a human-manageable
+way are necessary too.
 ### Handling inexperienced teams
 After the developers learned how CD worked, it was difficult to pass the
 knowledge along to other teammates. We tried to mitigate this by encouraging a
 member's migration to the DevOps team. Further research on how to effectively
-spread knowledge across inexperienced developers in a scenario with a high
-turnover are needed.

+### Overcoming mistrust
 In the project’s first half we struggled with deploy related problems in the
 government structure. We were in a paradoxical situation. The government
 demanded speedy deliveries but would not give access to their production
-infrastructure. As an example, only in a very specific situation the government
-allowed us to access the PE. After some interactions with the government we
-convinced them to create the VE as an isolated replica of the PE in their own
-infrastructure. The government agents then realized that it could be good for
-the project if they granted us access to part of the structure since we could
-deliver new features to them faster. We believe it is required more research on
-development protocols and policies to improve the relation between industry and
-government, specially regarding CD.
