DORA Metrics: Measuring DevOps Success with Four Key Indicators

DORA metrics, developed by the DevOps Research and Assessment group, consist of four essential measurements—Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Mean Time to Restore, and Change Failure Rate. These metrics enable organizations to evaluate their software delivery performance, identify process inefficiencies, and enhance operational effectiveness. By monitoring these key indicators, teams can achieve faster deployments, improve system reliability, and foster continuous improvement in DevOps practices.
