The four key metrics

DORA research shows these metrics strongly predict organizational performance. We calculate them automatically from your GitHub and Jira data.

Deployment Frequency

How often your team deploys to production. Elite teams deploy multiple times per day.

EliteMultiple per day
HighWeekly to daily
MediumMonthly to weekly

Lead Time for Changes

Time from first commit to production deployment. Measures your delivery pipeline efficiency.

EliteLess than 1 hour
High1 day to 1 week
Medium1 week to 1 month

Change Failure Rate

Percentage of deployments that cause failures. Lower is better—elite teams are under 15%.

Elite0-15%
High16-30%
Medium31-45%

Mean Time to Restore

How quickly you recover from failures. Elite teams restore service in under an hour.

EliteLess than 1 hour
HighLess than 1 day
Medium1 day to 1 week
