Classification

Overall: High
  • Deployment Frequency

    3 / week

    High

    Weekly-plus cadence. Automate release steps to reach on-demand.

  • Lead Time for Changes

    48 h

    High

    Under a week. Trim review queues and manual handoffs.

  • Change Failure Rate

    15 %

    Medium

    Some deploys fail. Strengthen pre-merge checks and rollbacks.

  • Time to Restore Service

    6 h

    High

    Same-day recovery. Practice runbooks and one-click rollback.

What the DORA metrics tell you

The four DORA metrics pair throughput - deployment frequency and lead time for changes - with stability - change failure rate and time to restore service. Read together, they show whether a team ships fast and safely, instead of trading one for the other. Elite teams tend to score well on all four at once.

This calculator classifies each input into an Elite, High, Medium or Low band and suggests where to focus. The thresholds are directional and based on published research; your own baseline matters more than the label. To go deeper on definitions, see our guide on what DORA metrics are and lead time for changes.

When you're ready to move from a one-off estimate to continuous tracking, connect your pipeline with DORA metrics tracking, layer in cycle-time analytics, or explore the full Measure product. Browse more free engineering tools to plan and instrument your delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and time to restore service. Two measure throughput and two measure stability, which is why balanced teams optimize all four together.
