DevOps

While the insurance industry was quick to adopt Agile as a way of project execution and management methodology, many of firms are still struggling to extend the benefits to the deployment phase of the project.

(as per 2017 State of DevOps Report)

Although, suitability of the technology to adapt to DevOps might limit its easy adoption some more common challenges that many companies face are:

  • Lack of understanding of the challenges the QA and Operations team face by the development team
  • QA and Operations typically work across many features and have little context of the business purpose and value of the software
  • Each group has different goals that can lead to inefficiency
