DORA stands for DevOps Research and Assessment (now part of Google Cloud) and is the official name of the team that defined the metrics and surveyed over 31,000 engineering professionals on DevOps practices, over the course of 6 years, making it the longest-running academic project in the field.

DORA metrics have become an industry standard of how good organizations are at delivering software effectively, and are very useful for tracking improvement over time.

The goal of this resource is to:

1. Define what DORA metrics are: What did the groundbreaking research find?
2. Provide industry benchmarks for these metrics.
3. Show you how to measure them.
