Introducing DORA Core: Durable research insights for technical practitioners
summary
DORA Core distills years of survey and structural equation modeling (36,000+ participants since 2014) into a slow-evolving, practitioner guide that only promotes findings validated at least twice. It centers on the four key metrics (lead time, deploy frequency, change failure rate, restore time), links capabilities in an interactive catalog to performance, and reports concrete results — e.g., teams high in user centricity deliver ~40% better outcomes, good documentation yields double‑digit boosts, and flexible infrastructure (not merely public cloud) predicts success.
