DORA Metrics in Practice: Measuring Engineering Excellence

Use DORA to guide better delivery. Measure what matters, automate collection, and build a culture of continuous improvement.

Introduction

Great teams measure outcomes, not guesses. DORA highlights speed and reliability together so leaders can coach with facts.

The Four Metrics

  • Deployment frequency shows how often you ship
  • Lead time describes how fast a change reaches production
  • Change failure rate reflects release quality
  • Time to restore captures recovery speed

How We Apply DORA

We connect CI, CD, and monitoring data from tools like GitHub Actions and ArgoCD to automated dashboards. Then we coach teams on feedback loops, post incident reviews, and shared ownership.
