SHIPPED25: DORA... Beyond the metrics

BackerLeader posted 1 min read

Most software teams have heard of the "DORA Metrics" or the "DORA 4 Keys", but there is so much more to the research. This session looks at those well-known metrics, but then takes you beyond them to some even more crucial insights into what great software delivery looks like.

Nathen Harvey and Steve Fenton introduce some key concepts, then abandon all slides to get hands on with some tools and models you can use to go beyond throughput and stability and out into the world of capabilities and continuous improvement.

Key insights

  • Throughput and stability aren't trade offs when you set teams up in the right way
  • How time to restore has evolved into failed deployment recovery time and rework rate
  • How to use the model to get better and getting better
  • How to use the assessment tool with your team to decide where to focus
