You’ve learned about the history of DORA metrics and some of the benefits of using them from our first episode. Now, let’s talk about why they matter.

DORA metrics are becoming the industry standard for measuring engineering efficiency, but where did they come from?

Change Lead Time can be considered the most insightful of the four DORA metrics. But how do you measure it most accurately? In this video, Don Brown shows you how Sleuth measures Change Lead Time for code changes and how Sleuth breaks down that time into multiple buckets for the most detailed insight on what's slowing your team down. Check out these videos on how Sleuth measures other DORA metrics.

Before you can measure the DORA metric for Change Failure Rate, you need to define what failure means. In this video, Sleuth's CTO Don Brown explains how Sleuth defines and measures Change Failure Rate, and how it ties failure back to deployments. Check out these videos on how Sleuth measures other DORA metrics: Give Sleuth a try and see why it's a deploy-based Accelerate / DORA metrics tracker both managers and developers love.

The DORA metric Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) tracks how long on average your failure spans are. In this video, Sleuth CTO Don Brown explains how Sleuth calculates this measurement, which gives you insight on how quickly your team can respond to and recover from failure.

Wondering how to track Deployment Frequency? Think it's a simple DORA metric to measure? When you look into the details, there's more to it than you might think. In this video, Sleuth's CTO Don Brown walks you through how Sleuth defines, calculates and tracks deployments to help your team measure its overall Deployment Frequency.

In this live stream, learn how Sleuth's new Team Metrics feature helps you:.

Gergely Orosz said measuring developer productivity by visualizing JIRA+git stats is a dead-end if you want truly high-performing teams, and that engineering managers hang on to this hope, fueled by vendors claiming how these tools helps teams ship better/faster. So are metrics vendors lying? Find out what Don has to say. SLEUTH A deploy-based DORA / Accelerate Metrics tracker both managers and developers love.

Two of the four DORA metrics, Change Failure Rate and MTTR, require that you first define what failure means. Does failure always mean incident? Or should failure mean rollback? In this video, Don walks you through a couple different ways to define failure, and how Sleuth does it today.

Log4j and Java sucks, but I don't use that, so I'm safe...right? Wrong. This video walks through the wrong lessons to take away from the huge Log4j remote code execution vulnerability, and points you at the lessons you should be learning instead. While the Log4j vulnerability may not directly affect you, its type of vulnerabilities certainly do.
