If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, It Doesn’t Matter How Fast You Get There
summary
DORA’s four validated metrics are the actual claim: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, mean time to restore, and change-fail rate, measured across ~27,000 respondents. High performers deploy multiple times per day, get changes from version control to production in under an hour, and restore service in under an hour, and they are twice as likely to exceed profitability and market goals. Culture is measured with Likert constructs (generative vs bureaucratic vs pathological) and can be shifted by continuous delivery and lean practices.
