- Deployment Frequency
- Lead Time
- Change Failure Rate
- Time to Restore Service
Answer
It’s Deployment Frequency!
‘How often an organization successfully releases to production?!’
Deployment Frequency is an essential DevOps metric and a critical Agile delivery indicator. The frequency at which increments of code are pushed to staging, testing, and production is tracked by this metric.
Deployment Frequency is a primary Agile statistic since the core goal of Agile software delivery is “..the early and continuous release of valuable software.” Furthermore, it is a critical component of good DevOps. The DevOps Research and Assessments (DORA) group popularised Deployment Frequency as one of the four DORA measures.
Deployment Frequency is best viewed alongside a broader range of agile delivery metrics measuring value delivery, delivery efficiency, dependability, backlog health, delivery, engineering quality, and DevOps processes. The software delivery process should be seen as an example end-to-end value delivery process.
