Introduction

DORA metrics measure software delivery velocity and throughput by plugging into all systems used for software development, deployment and operation. The DORA metrics consist of:

  • Deployment Frequency,

  • Lead Time for Changes,

  • Mean Time to Recovery and

  • Change Failure Rate.

These metrics can provide warnings and alert if engineers are:

  • losing engagement,

  • highlight high and low-performing teams and

  • help companies avoid resorting to quick fixes.
