Measure your team's DevOps performance against industry benchmarks
Understanding DORA Metrics
DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics are the industry-standard framework for
measuring software delivery performance. These four key metrics—Deployment Frequency,
Lead Time for Changes, Mean Time to Recovery, and Change Failure Rate—provide
quantifiable insights into your team's DevOps capabilities and identify areas for improvement.
1. Deployment Frequency
Measures how frequently your organization successfully releases code to production or end users.
2. Lead Time for Changes
Measures the time from code commit to successful deployment in production.
3. Mean Time to Recovery
Measures how quickly your team can restore service when a service incident or defect occurs in production.
4. Change Failure Rate
Measures the percentage of deployments that cause failures in production requiring immediate remediation.
