Metrics Dashboards: DORA Metrics

All four of your DORA metrics are available for reporting in the DORA Metrics dashboard. To find this dashboard, go to the Metrics tab, and select "Dora Metrics" from the left menu of available dashboards.

Filtering your DORA Metrics report

Your DORA metrics dashboard can be filtered to display DORA metrics for specific date ranges, one or multiple teams, or specific repos. Use the filters at the top of your metrics report to select which team(s) or repos you'd like to investigate.

This main report will remember your team or repo selections between visits. You can make custom reports for any specific repo or set of teams you'd like to routinely report over. Creating custom reports allows you to add in additional metrics for further context, as well as customize the order and even colors displayed in these reports. You can learn more about making custom dashboards here: How Do I Build a Metrics Dashboard?

Deployment Frequency

LinearB calculates deployment frequency by counting the unique number of releases identified from your Git provider (via tags, merges, or API deployments based on your release detection settings) and dividing them by the number of days/weeks/months displayed in the graph.

MTTR

MTTR is a metric that represents the average time it takes to restore from a failure of the system or one of its components. LinearB calculates this metric based on the time between when a "production bug" is created in your project management tool, and the time this issue (ticket) is resolved.
