Abstract

The Agile and DevOps have created a sea of change in how insurance companies develop, deploy, and maintain digital solutions. These methodologies promote collaboration, continuous feedback, and automation of processes, thereby improving speed, reducing errors, and enhancing overall product quality. The paper presents the benefits brought about by Agile and DevOps practices in smoothing the delivery of software within the insurance sector, metrics comparing preand post-implementation performance. Key findings indicate large-scale reductions in development cycle times and error rates, while the resultant time to market is faster, and customer satisfaction goes up. The challenges of adopting these methodologies-not the least of which involves cultural resistance, regulatory constraints, and skills requirements-are discussed. Adaptations to surmount such sector-specific obstacles are in the nature of customized frameworks and compliance-friendly pipelines. Comparative case studies of insurance firms adopting Agile and DevOps provide actionable insights, underlining their transformational role in this highly regulated industry.
