Frequently Asked Questions

What are DORA Metrics?

DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) identified four key metrics that differentiate high-performing technology organizations: Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Time to Restore Service, and Change Failure Rate.

Why do these metrics matter?

They are outcome-based, not output-based. Unlike 'Lines of Code' (which is useless), DORA metrics correlate directly with business performance, profitability, and market share.
