DORA metrics measure delivery speed, recovery, and failure impact. In agentic engineering they help distinguish real delivery outcomes from raw code production.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.
Executable approach: can be applied and produces an outcome.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
DORA metrics measure the speed and stability of software delivery through four measures.
The metrics come from the DevOps Research and Assessment team, whose State of DevOps reports made them widely known. The four classic measures cover deployment frequency, change lead time, change failure rate, and time to restore service.
Imagine a delivery service: track how often it leaves, how long orders take, how many deliveries fail, and how quickly a failure is fixed.
How often an organization successfully deploys changes to production.
How long a change takes from completion to production.
Failure rate and time to restore show delivery stability.
DORA metrics give teams a shared language for improving delivery and operations. Comparisons or targets without context encourage gaming and can hide product quality, security, and user impact.
