DORA Metrics for Azure DevOps

Overview

The DORA Metrics extension provides comprehensive tracking and visualization of the four key DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics directly within your Azure DevOps environment. These metrics help teams measure and improve their DevOps performance.

What are DORA Metrics?

DORA metrics are four key performance indicators identified by the DevOps Research and Assessment team at Google:

1. Deployment Frequency - How often an organization successfully releases to production
2. Lead Time for Changes - The time it takes from code commit to code running in production
3. Mean Time to Restore (MTTR) - How long it takes to restore service after an incident
4. Change Failure Rate - The percentage of deployments that cause a failure in production

Features

• Historical trend visualization
• Advanced analytics with correlation analysis
• Performance level comparison with industry benchmarks
• Actionable recommendations for improvement
• Toggle between real and mock data for testing

How It Works

The extension analyzes data from your Azure DevOps environment, including:

• Release pipelines for deployment frequency
• Pull request and release data for lead time
• Work items (bugs, incidents) for MTTR
• Failed deployments for change failure rate

Getting Started

1. Install the extension
2. Configure the extension settings for your organization
