The main challenge was to develop the understanding of the existing code and user requirements but the project, at that time, had No formal documentation furthermore flawed spaghetti coding structure was used without any proper architecture, patterns or practices adaption thus making it extremely diffi- cult to take over the technical aspect of the project.
Redesign of User Interface for the entire application was another challenge.
