Info

The DORA metrics measure the performance of a DevOps organisation by providing essential insights and informing DevOps key performance indicators (KPIs). Here are four DORA metrics:

  • Deployment Frequency (org’s velocity)
  • Lead Time for Changes (org’s velocity)
  • Mean Time to Restore (org’s stability)
  • Change Failure Rate (org’s stability)

Lead time

length of time from a commit to the version control repository to the deployment of that code into a production environment.

Deployment frequency

How frequently organizations can successfully deploy code to production

Change failure rate

Recovery time

instances where service incidents occurred in production environments.

the metric for recovery time is expressed as the Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)
