Beyond Story Points: Measuring Engineering Productivity

By Vectyr Team


Beyond Story Points: Measuring Engineering Productivity


Learn how to measure engineering productivity effectively using DORA metrics, cycle time, and deployment frequency.


DORA Metrics


The DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) metrics provide a data-driven approach to measuring software delivery performance.


The Four Key Metrics


1. **Deployment Frequency**: How often you deploy to production

2. **Lead Time for Changes**: Time from commit to production

3. **Change Failure Rate**: Percentage of deployments causing issues

4. **Time to Restore Service**: How quickly you recover from incidents


Cycle Time Analysis


Understanding where time is spent in your development process helps identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows.
