# Deployment Analytics (DORA Metrics)

## What are DORA Metrics?

[DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment)](https://devops-research.com/) [metrics](https://oobeya.io/dora-metrics-four-key/) are a set of metrics that measure the performance of DevOps practices and processes in organizations. The metrics include [lead time, deployment frequency, mean time to restore, change failure rate](https://oobeya.io/dora-metrics-four-key/), and they aim to provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s ability to deliver value to customers. Learn more about DORA Metrics [here](https://oobeya.io/blog/how-to-measure-dora-metrics-accurately/).

## DORA Metrics Definitions

1. **Lead Time For Changes:** The amount of time it takes a commit to get into production.
2. **Deployment Frequency:** How often an organization successfully releases to production. High-performing software teams release often and in small batches.
3. **Change Failure Rate:** The percentage of deployments causing a failure in production.
4. **Time to Restore Service:** How long it takes an organization to recover from a failure in production.
