Up until this point in the book, we have mainly been focusing on the core tools, techniques and approaches you'll need in your toolbox to ensure that your adoption of CD and DevOps starts well and continues smoothly. We've also covered a few of the potential hurdles you'll come across along the way which you'll have somehow to get over.
We'll now apply a little more focus to these hurdles and looks at ways that they can be overcome, or at least ways to minimize the impact they have on pushing forward towards your goal and vision. Throughout this chapter we will be looking into:

- Where to apply your energies and who should get the most attention
- Change is scary and how people react and perceive it should not be taken lightly
- Geography is problematic
- Things will go wrong so you should...
