About the session

This talk will introduce Google’s DevOps Research and Assessment programme's 4 key metrics, explain how the 31 capabilities relate to lean agile principles and showcase how a multinational organisation is using them to improve performance.

They’ve iterated from a self-assessment model where engineers and product folk could check their own performance and trawl a knowledge base of documented good practice with examples to deriving metrics from engineering and product artefacts, using AI-enabled search to deliver more complete answers and working on tools to better enable connection and learning with others working on the similar challenges.

Geoff will share the lessons learned and talk about issues which have yet to be resolved.

Participant takeaways:

  • Introduction to the DORA metrics
  • How DORA capabilities map to lean agile principles
  • How is a multinational enterprise adopting DORA principles to improve agile practices and organisational performance
  • The relative challenges and benefits of qualitative self-assessment vs engineering artefact-derived empirical scoring
     

Themes:

DORA, DevOps, Enterprise, Metrics, Management, Culture, Improvement, Learning Organisation.
