Through six years of research, the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team has identified four key metrics that indicate the performance of a software development team:
- Deployment Frequency — How often an organization successfully releases to production
- Lead Time for Changes — The amount of time it takes a commit to get into production
- Change Failure Rate — The percentage of deployments causing a failure in production
- Time to Restore Service — How long it takes an organization to recover from a failure in production
