Mapping & measuring: DORA's perspective on platform engineering

Taking insights from a decade of DORA research, this session will identify metrics that validate a platform's impact while mapping out some areas for platform engineering teams to focus on.

DORA has studied the behaviors of thousands of software development teams and discovered capabilities that reliably predict success. DORA has consistently found that top performers lead their industries in both release velocity and service reliability, achieve better business outcomes, and have more satisfied employees.

This session will look at platform engineering through a DORA lens to help identify metrics that validate a platform's impact and map out some areas for platform engineering teams to focus on.We’ll unpack the research findings and outline key steps your team can take toward continuous improvement.

We’ll then couple these findings with stories "from the field" about how teams are putting these ideas into practice.
