# DORA Metrics Calculator for Azure DevOps

🚀 Excited to share a Python-based DORA Metrics Calculator for Azure DevOps that I've been working on!

### Why this is required?

During my learning about Engineering Metrics, I was trying to identify way to calculate measuring team performance, programmatically and you can find it here.

### What you can do ?

This tool helps you track:

✅ Deployment Frequency (DF)  
✅ Lead Time for Changes (LT)  
✅ Change Failure Rate (CFR)  
✅ Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)

### Key features
\- Branch-specific metrics (perfect for tracking main/production branches)  
\- Customizable date ranges  
\- Detailed deployment pipeline analysis  
\- Easy integration with existing Azure DevOps projects

### Tech stack  
\- Python  
\- Azure DevOps SDK  
\- Pandas for data analysis

I've made the code public for anyone who wants to use or improve it.  
**Required packages**  
\- azure-core  
\- azure-devops  
\- pandas  
\- numpy

### Sample Output
DORA Metrics for releases/v1 branch in Murali.HelloWorld:  
Time Period: Last 15 days  
**Deployment Frequency**: 28.20 deployments/day  
**Lead Time for Changes**: 25.53 hours  
**Change Failure Rate**: 1.32%  
**Time to Restore**: 0.00 hours
