DORA

Measuring engineering efficiency begins with tracking DORA metrics.

Here are 4 key DORA metrics to consider:

Cycle Time

The cycle time is the average duration that Pull requests spend in different stages of the pipeline, including "Coding," "Pickup," "Review," and "Merge."

Deployment PRs

Deployment PRs represent the average number of Pull Requests merged in the main/master/production branch per week.

Change Failure Rate(CFR)

This refers to the proportion or percentage of deployments that result in failure or errors, indicating the rate at which changes negatively impact the stability or functionality of the system. Since the definition of Failure is specific to teams, this metric can be configured in multiple ways.

Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)

The average time taken to recover from a service or system failure. A lower MTTR indicates a robust and resilient system.
