Dev Team Metrics that Matter
summary
Defines DORA metrics (cycle time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, mean time to restore) and measures them with LinearB, CI/CD (Drone, Jenkins, CircleCI, GitHub Actions) and spreadsheets. Claims PRs under 200 changes merge roughly twice as fast and increase deployment frequency. Implements a continuous merge layer that adds auto-approve and auto-assign actions and Slack notifications to reduce idle review time, plus automated categorization using GitStream reaper rules; this stack cuts review latency dramatically and speeds end-to-end delivery.
