Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) explained
It's Friday afternoon, and you have mail. Apparently, a user received a 500 error when attempting to sign in. She contacted Customer Service. They didn't know what to do, so they forwarded the email to your engineering team. A close look at the email thread reveals that Customer Service received it... on Tuesday. And they sat on it until today. Hopefully, it was just this one user. You open your browser, navigate to the web application, and attempt to sign in. You also get a 500 error.
DORA Metrics 101 @Sleuth TV
DORA metrics are becoming the industry standard for measuring engineering efficiency, but where did they come from?
How Sleuth measures Change Lead Time
Change Lead Time can be considered the most insightful of the four DORA metrics. But how do you measure it most accurately? In this video, Don Brown shows you how Sleuth measures Change Lead Time for code changes and how Sleuth breaks down that time into multiple buckets for the most detailed insight on what's slowing your team down. Check out these videos on how Sleuth measures other DORA metrics.
How Sleuth measures Change Failure Rate
Before you can measure the DORA metric for Change Failure Rate, you need to define what failure means. In this video, Sleuth's CTO Don Brown explains how Sleuth defines and measures Change Failure Rate, and how it ties failure back to deployments. Check out these videos on how Sleuth measures other DORA metrics: Give Sleuth a try and see why it's a deploy-based Accelerate / DORA metrics tracker both managers and developers love.
How Sleuth measures Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)
The DORA metric Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) tracks how long on average your failure spans are. In this video, Sleuth CTO Don Brown explains how Sleuth calculates this measurement, which gives you insight on how quickly your team can respond to and recover from failure.

How Sleuth measures Deployment Frequency
Wondering how to track Deployment Frequency? Think it's a simple DORA metric to measure? When you look into the details, there's more to it than you might think. In this video, Sleuth's CTO Don Brown walks you through how Sleuth defines, calculates and tracks deployments to help your team measure its overall Deployment Frequency.
