Measure & Improve the Balance Between Speed & Sustainability

This standard mandates the use of data to measure and improve the balance between speed and sustainability in engineering workflows.

1. Measure & Improve the Balance Between Speed & Sustainability:

Sustainable teams use data to track and improve their ways of working. This approach ensures continuous improvement and efficiency.

• 1.1 DORA Metrics Tracking:
  • 1.1.1 Delivery Health Metrics:
    • Use DORA metrics (Lead Time, Deployment Frequency, Change Failure Rate, MTTR) to track delivery health.
    • Automate the collection and analysis of DORA metrics.
  • 1.1.2 Performance Monitoring:
    • Monitor cycle time, cognitive load, and team productivity without incentivising overwork.
    • Automate the generation of performance reports.
• 1.2 Retrospective Analysis:
  • 1.2.1 Workload Assessment:
    • Ensure retrospectives regularly assess workload balance and process efficiency.
    • Automate the generation of retrospective reports.
  • 1.2.2 Process Efficiency Improvement:
    • Implement improvements based on retrospective findings.
    • Automate the tracking of improvement actions.

By measuring and improving the balance between speed and sustainability, organisations can ensure efficient and sustainable workflows.
