DORA Metrics Framework overview
A research-backed framework measuring software delivery performance through four key metrics: Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR). Teams are classified as Elite, High, Medium, or Low performers. The framework demonstrates that speed and stability are complementary, not trade-offs, and predicts organizational performance.
