FAQPage Schema
How do I automate DORA metrics collection using GitHub Actions?

Automating DORA metrics collection with GitHub Actions requires GitHub API access and an active CI/CD pipeline. This Skill calculates deployment frequency, lead time, mean time to restore, and change failure rate by tracking incidents and deployments directly through the API.

What is the difference between DORA and SPACE metrics for software delivery?

DORA metrics focus on software delivery performance, measuring deployment frequency, lead time, and change failure rate. SPACE metrics measure developer experience, tracking satisfaction, performance, activity, communication, and efficiency for a holistic operational view.

Do I need a CI/CD pipeline to measure SPACE and DORA metrics?

Yes, a CI/CD pipeline and GitHub API access are required. The automated data collection for SPACE and DORA metrics depends on your CI/CD pipeline to accurately track deployment events, code changes, and incident restoration times.

How do I generate a baseline report for software delivery performance?

To generate a baseline report, run the dora-metrics Skill with your specific team or project context. This action calculates the current DORA and SPACE metrics to provide a comprehensive view of your software delivery performance.

What are common anti-patterns when tracking developer experience and performance metrics?

Common anti-patterns include misconfiguring incident tracking in GitHub Actions or misaligning SPACE framework data collection. This Skill identifies these common pitfalls and provides actionable improvement playbooks to ensure effective metric use.
