DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) is an organization that researches the benefits organizations get from DevOps principles and practices like the ones discussed here.
From their research, DORA has identified four metrics that high-performers score well against for delivery and operational performance. They suggest using these metrics as goals for an aspirational organization. These metrics are:
Lead time for changes The amount of time it takes a commit to get into production; that is, how long it takes to go through the inner and outer loops. This includes both the development time (how long it takes to code the feature) and the wait time in various stages of the CI/CD pipeline.
