There is a correlation between high performing software teams and strong business performance of the companies of which they are a part.
This relationship was discovered in the State of DevOps Report - a study spans several years, includes thousands of respondents, multiple sectors, organisations of various sizes and age.
The collection and analysis of the data follows a rigorous statistical approach. By tracking and improving just 4 key metrics it is possible to drive higher performance.
These metrics are: lead time for changes; deployment frequency; mean time to restore service; change failure rate.
Lead Time for Changes
How long does it take to go from code committed to code successfully running in production?
Deployment frequency
How often does your organisation deploy code to production or release it to end users?
Mean Time to Restore Service
How long does it generally take to restore service when a service incident or a defect that impacts users occurs?
Change Failure Rate
What percentage of changes to production or releases to users result in degraded service and subsequently require remediation?
