DORA Metrics

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 alerts if engineers are:

• losing engagement,

• highlight high and low-performing teams and

• help companies avoid resorting to quick fixes.
