Louis Strauss, the Chief Product Officer and co-founder of 6clicks, is joined by Andrew Lawrence, Chief Technology Officer, to discuss engineering excellence and the DORA metrics.
The DORA metrics, established by the DevOps Research and Assessment (later acquired by Google), are designed to pinpoint the characteristics of high-performing engineering teams. These metrics encompass deployment frequency, lead time to change, change failure rate, time to recovery, and reliability. Teams excelling in these areas frequently release new features, maintain short lead times for changes, achieve low change failure rates, and rapidly recover from failures.
