What kind of delivery team are you?

DORA 2025

Four axes, nothing more

The questions cover the eight measures DORA uses to define its team profiles, grouped into four axes.

• Speed

  Lead time for changes and deployment frequency.

• Stability

  Failures, rework and time to restore.

• Team and product

  Collaboration and value for users.

• People

  Productivity, valuable work, friction and burnout.
