Measuring a team, and the five DORA metrics
"How do you measure your success as a leader" is a near-guaranteed question, and most candidates answer it with the four DORA metrics. There are five, the names of two of them changed for substantive reasons, and knowing why is a better signal than reciting the list.
What you'll be able to do
- Name the five current DORA metrics and the two factors they group into
- Explain why the set changed — three metrics in 2014, four keys, and rework rate arriving in 2024
- Avoid the seven pitfalls, starting with Goodhart's law
- Answer "how do you measure your team" with a set that has healthy tension rather than a single number
