Concept Map for DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA)

Description

Shows a concept map of the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) State of DevOps model

Concepts

ConceptDescription
Change fail rateWhat percentage of changes to production or released to users result in degraded service (e.g., lead to service impairment or service outage) and subsequently require remediation (e.g., require a hotfix, rollback, fix forward, patch)?
Change lead timeHow long does it take to go from code committed to code successfully running in production?
Commercial performance
Deployment frequencyHow often does your organization deploy code to production or release it to end users?
How to empower software delivery teams as a business leader
How to transform
Less burnoutLess physical, mental, or emotional exhaustion caused by overwork or stress
Less deployment painA measure of the fear and anxiety that engineers and technical staff feel when they push code into production
Less reworkFixing things that weren’t done right the first time and, like change fail rate, is a proxy measure for quality.
Non-Commercial performance
Organizational performanceMeasures the ability of an organization to achieve commercial and non-commercial goals
Software delivery performanceSoftware delivery performance is the ability to develop and deliver software with speed and stability.
Time to restore serviceHow long does it generally take to restore service when a service incident or a defect that impacts users occurs (e.g., unplanned outage, service impairment)?
