DORA metrics for sports teams — because your favorite team has a deployment problem.

The concept

DORA metrics measure software delivery performance. But what if we applied them to sports?

| DORA Metric | Software meaning | Sports meaning | |-------------|-----------------|----------------| | Deployment Frequency | How often you ship | How often you score | | Lead Time for Changes | PR to production | Play call to execution | | Change Failure Rate | Bad deploys / total deploys | Turnovers / total possessions | | MTTR | Time to restore after incident | Time to recover from a deficit |

Usage
