Getting started 

Make sure that the users of the environment (the process engineers) are comfortable with the environment

As you apply the recommendations described in the practice, capture what you have learned, what worked for your team and what didn't so that you can continually fine-tune how your team applies the practice.

Common pitfalls

The following are some common pitfalls when adopting this practice.

• Spending too much time making sure the environment is perfect. Define just enough environment to get started.  Then gather feedback on how the environment is working, refining, as needed. 
• Having a team that is unfamiliar with the environment and is therefore hesitant to "jump right in" and start working.
