DORA Metrics + SPACE Framework

Measure both delivery performance (DORA) and developer experience (SPACE) for complete engineering intelligence.

⭐ SPACE Framework

The Five Dimensions of Developer Productivity

DORA tells you what is happening with your delivery—SPACE tells you why by measuring developer experience across five key dimensions.

S
Satisfaction
Developer happiness & fulfillment
P
Performance
Outcome-based results
A
Activity
Volume of work completed
C
Collaboration
Team communication
E
Efficiency
Minimize interruptions

Why SPACE matters: Research from Microsoft, GitHub, and University of Victoria shows that measuring developer productivity requires multiple dimensions. No single metric captures the full picture—SPACE provides a holistic view of engineering health that goes beyond delivery metrics alone.

The Four Key DORA Metrics

Based on years of research by Google's DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team, these metrics predict software delivery performance and organizational success. Learn more from the Accelerate State of DevOps Report.

Deployment Frequency

How often your team successfully releases to production. Frequent deployments indicate mature automation and enable faster feedback loops.

Performance Tiers:
🏆 Elite: Multiple times per day
High: Once per day to once per week
📊 Medium: Once per week to once per month
📉 Low: Less than once per month

Lead Time for Changes

Time from code commit to production deployment. Short lead times enable rapid innovation and quick response to market needs.

Performance Tiers:
🏆 Elite: Less than one day
High: One day to one week
📊 Medium: One week to one month
📉 Low: More than one month

Change Failure Rate

Percentage of deployments that result in failures requiring hotfixes or rollbacks. Lower rates indicate better quality control.

Performance Tiers:
🏆 Elite: 0-15%
High: 16-30%
📊 Medium: 31-45%
📉 Low: More than 45%

Mean Time to Recovery

How quickly you restore service after incidents. Fast recovery minimizes customer impact and demonstrates operational excellence.

Performance Tiers:
🏆 Elite: Less than one hour
High: Less than one day
📊 Medium: One day to one week
📉 Low: More than one week

Why These Metrics Matter for DevEx

2.5x

Elite performers are 2.5x more likely to exceed profitability and productivity goals

973x

Elite performers deploy 973x more frequently than low performers

6,570x

Elite performers recover from incidents 6,570x faster

Developer Experience Impact: Research from ACM Queue shows that good DevEx leads to:
