Lead Time

Lead Time for Changes

Definition

Lead time for changes measures the time from committing code to that code running successfully in production. It is one of the four DORA metrics and reflects the end-to-end efficiency of the software delivery process.

Elite DevOps teams achieve lead times under one hour through trunk-based development, automated testing, and progressive delivery.
