⭐️ This metric is one of the team.

You can see all 4 key DORA metrics on the of the Multitudes app.

Note: this metric is only shown at a team level, not an individual level.

Deployment Frequency chart

Why it matters: This is an indicator of the value we're providing to customers, because it shows the volume of work being released to production.

How we calculate it: We count the number of successful attempts to deploy to production in each time period, divided by the number of people on the team. This normalization is to allow benchmarking of teams against industry standards, regardless of team size.

Notes:

If you send us a deployment with only bot commits, and those bot commits were last updated before you installed our GitHub integration, those custom deployments will not show up in the data. This is because we don't retrieve bot commits during the initial historical data pull when you first onboard.

If a deployment only has commits authored by bots, these will be included in the grey Organization line only.

What good looks like

What it is: This is , showing the median number of per person on a team, over time. ‍

Commits that are authored by users who are not a in Multitudes will be filtered out of results. If a deployment has no commits authored by Multitudes contributors, the whole deployment will be filtered out of results as we won't be able to attribute it to a Multitudes contributor nor their team.

. If we call that one deploy per day per team, that’s 5 deploys per week in a 5-day workweek. We recommend keeping this metric over 2 deployments per person per week.
