DORA metrics aren't the right choice to understand the impact of your engineering strategy.

You need to choose context specific metrics that will help you:

✅ Measure engineering strategy progress
✅ Know when to stop
✅ Keep people focused on impacting the right metric
✅ A metric that is related to your business strategy from an engineering PoV

When you use DORA, you may:

❌ Lose the engineering strategy focus
❌ Not provide a strong correlation to what the strategy wants to achieve

There are some misconceptions about deciding context specific engineering strategy metrics, like:

👉 You don't need to measure, just execute.
👉 Measuring is hard and time consuming

In the article, I share why those are misconceptions and how you can measure without requiring a costly data implementation.

I also provide some examples of metrics I used in the past from real world examples.
