DORA Metrics
DORA metrics, also known as Accelerate metrics, are universally lauded as good metrics for tracking Engineering team productivity and software delivery performance. Learn the whats and whys of the four DORA metrics: Deployment Frequency, Change Lead Time, Change Failure Rate and Mean Time to Recovery, and how to use them the right way.
DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) is a research program that aims to identify the practices and capabilities that drive high performance in software development and IT operations. It was launched by a team of researchers from Google, and it has since grown to include a community of researchers, practitioners, and organizations.

The DORA program has conducted several large-scale studies of software development and IT operations, and it has identified a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) that are strongly correlated with high performance. These KPIs include:
Deployment frequency: How often an organization deploys code to production.
Lead time for changes: How long it takes for code changes to go from development to production.
Mean time to recover (MTTR): How long it takes to recover from failures or incidents.
Change failure rate: The percentage of changes that result in degraded performance or require remediation.
