DORA Metrics

Course overview

About this course

Trellis Engineering's numbers are in. Deployment Frequency down. Lead Time up. Change Failure Rate through the roof. And an MTTR that should embarrass everyone in the room.

You have been brought in to tell the team's leadership what the data actually means — and what they should fix first. To do that, you'll need to understand what DORA metrics are, how to read them, and how to use them as a diagnostic tool rather than a scorecard.

Part one teaches you the metrics. Part two puts you in front of real data and expects you to use them.

What you'll learn

Practical outcomes

  • What the four DORA metrics are and what each one measures.
  • How to classify team performance against DORA benchmarks.
  • How to calculate Lead Time, Change Failure Rate, and MTTR from raw data.
  • How to read the metrics together as a system rather than in isolation.
  • How to identify the root cause of engineering underperformance from metric data.
  • How to prioritise which metric to address first and justify that decision.

Pre-requisites

What you should know first

  • No technical background required.
  • Helpful: some experience working alongside a development team.
