What Git Metrics Can Tell You About Your Team by Dwayne McDaniel

Session Title: What Git Metrics Can Tell You About Your Team
Speaker(s): Dwayne McDaniel

Abstract: As Lord Kelvin said: “If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it.”
It is vital to the success of every team that you have metrics and those metrics are simple to track. But what do you measure? For DevOps teams at least, the answer is more and more clear thanks to the work by Google Cloud’s DevOps Research and Assessment, also known as DORA.

Even if you are not ready to take the full plunge to adopt all the practices and methodologies they prescribe, taking stock of the surprising amount of data that already exists around your DevOps practice is an incredible step towards building a more manageable team with overall better success.

In this session we will cover:

– Why DevOps success is hard to quantify

– What the DORA team uncovered

– How to do a base level assessment of your current path

– What options exist to better capture data and tune your organizational practices
