 ## Context
 
+Continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline is to organise all steps required to go from idea to a releasable software using automation of the development process. The key ideas upon it is founded are as follows:
+
+- The reliable, repeatable production of high quality software.
+- The application of scientific principles, experimentation, feedback and learning.
+- The pipeline (or set of workflows) as a mechanism to organise and automate the development process.
+
+For this to work it is essential to apply principles and practices noted in the [NHSE Software Engineering Quality Framework](https://github.com/NHSDigital/software-engineering-quality-framework)
+
 Requirements:
 
 - Implement the exemplar CI/CD pipeline using GitHub workflows and actions
