DORA Metrics

DORA metrics (developed by the DevOps Research and Assessment team) are a set of measurements that indicate the performance of a software delivery process. CodeNOW calculates them automatically from deployment activity and presents them directly on each application card, so you can track delivery health without any manual instrumentation.

How It Works

Each metric is evaluated against a set of levels (Elite, High, Medium, Low) that reflect industry benchmarks. In addition to the current level, CodeNOW tracks the trend over the last month — whether the metric is improving, stable, or deteriorating.

Metrics are recalculated on a daily basis.

Prerequisites

DORA metrics are only calculated for applications that have a production environment configured () and have been deployed to that environment at least once. Applications without a production deployment will show a BLANK level for all metrics.

Metrics

MetricDescription
Deployment FrequencyHow often the application is successfully deployed to the production environment
Lead Time for ChangesHow long it takes from creating a package to its first deployment to production
Change Failure RateWhat percentage of production deployments result in degraded service
