Software Delivery in a Minute

Software Delivery

Measurable delivery concepts (DORA, flow, churn, throughput) with explicit limits on what each metric does and does not prove.

Central question: What does this metric help answer, and what else do I need?

• Deployment Frequency

  What deployment frequency measures, how teams calculate it, and what it cannot tell you alone.

• Lead Time for Changes

  Lead time from commit to production: definition choices, uses, and common misreads.

• Change Failure Rate

  What change failure rate measures, how definitions vary, and why it must pair with other signals.

• Recovery Time

  Time to restore service after a change-induced failure—definition choices and limits.

• Cycle Time

  Cycle time as a flow metric—how it differs from lead time and what it cannot answer alone.

• Developer Productivity

  Why single activity metrics fail as productivity scores—and what a more careful evaluation looks like.
