Four engineering-performance metrics, deploy frequency, lead time, MTTR, change-failure rate, validated by DORA's State of DevOps research.
DORA metrics are the four metrics the DevOps Research and Assessment program identified as predictors of organizational performance: deployment frequency (how often you ship), lead time for changes (commit to production), mean time to restore service (MTTR), and change-failure rate (the percent of deploys that cause an incident or rollback). The four together describe whether an engineering org is fast and stable, fast and unstable, slow and stable, or slow and unstable.
DORA metrics are the only widely-validated framework for talking to executives about engineering health in numbers they can compare across companies and quarters. Reporting them quarterly forces conversations about real bottlenecks (CI flakiness, manual approvals, test debt) instead of vague 'we should ship faster' debates.
