This template provides an engineering perspective to boost the performance of your teams via faster lead time for changes to production, increased deployment frequency to production, faster time to restore service to production, and reduction in the change failure rate to production.

The template contains these sections and metrics:

Deployment frequency

1. Deployment frequency, by month

2. Releases by month

Lead Time for changes

1. Average pipeline lead time

2. Lead and cycle time, by month

3. Average lead and cycle time

Time to restore service

1. Pipeline mean time to recovery

2. Resolution time for production top priority defects, for 12 months

3. Defects average lifetime (all priorities)

Change Failure Rate

1. Red pipeline time %, by week

2. Pipeline success rate, by Week

3. Production defects density, per release
