The DORA Metrics
Created by the DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) Team at Google Cloud and published in the State of DevOps Report
Software Delivery Performance Metrics (DORA)
- Deployment frequency (DF) (how often do you release to production?)
- Lead time for changes (LTTC) (how long does it take from commit to production?)
- Mean Time to restore (MTTR) (how long does it take to restore service after an unplanned outage?)
- Change failure rate (CFR) (what percentage of changes require remediations/hotfixes?)
Performers
Using DORA metrics, teams can be ordered into low, medium, high and elite performers.
