KPIs for DevOps can be divided into three main types. While these categories help quantify the technical aspects of the DevOps life cycle, the ultimate goal is the Business Impact, which serves as the guiding principle to optimize performance and operations, with a focus on the financial well-being and prosperity of the organization.
Time-based metrics
Mean time for detection: Measures the average time taken to detect issues or anomalies in a system or process. It provides insights into problem identification speed.
Change lead time: Measures the time taken from initiating a change request to its full implementation. It helps evaluate the efficiency of change management processes.
Mean time for recovery: Evaluates the average time taken to recover from incidents or failures. It is crucial for assessing system resilience and incident response.
Volume-based metrics
Feature rating metric: Measures the volume of new features or enhancements added to a system. It helps track the pace of feature development.
Addition of new work: Quantifies the volume of new work items or tasks added to a project or backlog. It is important for workload management and capacity planning.

Changes volume: Calculates the total number of changes, updates, or modifications made to a system or application. It provides an overview of the change frequency.
Defect volume: Measures the number of defects or issues identified within a specified timeframe. It is essential for quality assurance and bug tracking.
Frequency-based metrics
Deployment frequency: Measures how often new code changes are deployed to production. It reflects the agility and release cadence of the development process.
Defect escape ratio: Quantifies the ratio of defects discovered in production versus those found during development and testing. It highlights the effectiveness of quality control measures.
Rate of code vulnerability: Assesses the frequency of security vulnerabilities detected in the codebase. It is crucial for evaluating the security posture of the application.
Baseline Metric - Business Impact
This metric not only quantifies the immediate financial consequences of your operations but also considers the long-term effects, making it an indispensable tool for strategic decision-making. It enables you to:
