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.

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.

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. 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.

Communication Channels help you add Video Call links, ChatOps links, and other external links to an incident. Additionally, you can create a dedicated Slack Channel for an incident using the Communications Card.

Maintenance Mode enables you to reduce alert noise during the scheduled maintenance window. Thus alert notifications for false-positive incidents can be suppressed during Maintenance windows.

With Squadcast, you can define and monitor Service Level Objects for your services. SLOs allow you to define and enforce an agreement between two parties regarding the delivery of a given service. A Service Level Objective (SLO) is a reliability target, measured by a Service Level Indicator (SLI), and sometimes serves as a safeguard for a Service Level Agreement (SLA). SLOs represent customer happiness and guide the development team’s velocity.
