Development Insights has a DORA dashboard. It tracks the four DORA metrics for your organization, places each one in its benchmark tier from the DORA research, and lets you click through to the deployments, pull requests, and incidents behind every number.

The four DORA metrics, in one view​

A table at the top of the dashboard places each of your metrics in its benchmark tier: low, medium, high, or elite. Below it, a stat panel per metric shows your current value for the selected time period.

  • Deployment Frequency - How often your organization deploys code to production, measured in deployment days per week or month.
  • Lead Time for Changes - The median time for a code change to reach production, from first commit to deployment.
  • Change Failure Rate - The percentage of production deployments that result in incidents.
  • Failed Deployment Recovery Time - The median time to recover when a production deployment causes an incident.

Tier colors run purple for elite, green for high, yellow for medium, and red for low.

Benchmarks you can choose​

DORA's research benchmarks changed between report years, and the dashboard supports both:

  • 2023 report - The current benchmark thresholds, including the Failed Deployment Recovery Time metric.
  • 2021 report - The earlier thresholds, which measure Median Time to Restore Service instead.

Use the DORA Report selector at the top of the dashboard to switch between them. Panel titles and benchmark thresholds update to match the report you pick.

Every metric comes with history and a way into the raw data.

  • Monthly trend charts - Bar charts plot deployments per month, median lead time, change failure rate, and recovery time over time.
  • Drill-down dashboards - Click any metric to open a dedicated view of the underlying deployments, pull requests, or incidents.
  • Project and time filters - Use the Project filter to scope metrics to one or more projects, and the date range selector to adjust the window. The dashboard defaults to the last six months.
