Deployment frequency
How often you ship is the first number to fix. Calculators to benchmark yours against the rest of the industry.
Lead time for changes
The time from idea to prod is where you win or lose. Measure it, shrink it, ship more often.
Change failure rate
Frequency only counts if you are not breaking things. Track your failure rate alongside your deploy rate.
PR size
Big PRs get rubber stamped. Small PRs get read. A simple calculator for the most underrated dev team metric.
DevMetrics
Metrics that actually matter
DevMetrics is a set of free browser based calculators and essays for engineering leaders who want to improve their teams. It focuses on the DORA metrics that predict real outcomes. Deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and PR size.
The argument
Story points measure output. Output is not outcomes. The fastest way to fix a slow team is to make them ship more often. Everything else follows.
