The 5 Stages of Engineering Excellence : Chapter 2

Implementing DORA metrics, derived from six years of research by the DevOps Research and Assessments team, allows organizations to measure and enhance software delivery performance by tracking deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and time to restore service. These metrics provide insights into the velocity and quality of software engineering outputs, although gathering data for them can be complex due to the variety of tools used across teams. Platforms like Harness Software Engineering Insights offer out-of-the-box dashboards and predictive analytics to facilitate decision-making and accommodate diverse DevOps toolchains. These platforms not only standardize software metrics but also offer flexibility for organizations to extend metrics and insights to various audiences, from executives to engineering teams, enhancing their ability to visualize and act upon these analytics.
