What does DORA measure?
The DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team developed the Four Keys project, which helps organizations like ours track important aspects of our software development. This allows us to see how well we’re doing and find ways to make our software delivery and teamwork even better, ultimately enhancing our clients’ experience with our services.
These four key metrics are:
Deployment frequency
Change fail rate
Failed deployment recovery time
Lead time for changes
The DORA awards outline companies with exceptional results in the field, and SiteGround is proud to be recognized in the top performing organizations with a DORA award!
