[Question][DORA] is there any plans to implement the fifth metric, Deployment rework rate?

[jneyra-modo]

Question

DORA now utilizes five metrics to measure software delivery performance, grouped into two distinct factors:

Software Delivery Throughput
Change lead time: Time from code commit to successful production deployment.
Deployment frequency: How often application changes are deployed.
Failed deployment recovery time: Time to recover from a failed deployment.
Software Delivery Instability
Change fail rate: Percentage of deployments causing failures in production.
Deployment rework rate: Percentage of deployments that are unplanned work to fix bugs.

is there any plans to implement the fifth metric, Deployment rework rate?

Hi @jneyra-modo! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the incubator-devlake team.

Based on my research, there are currently no existing plans or discussions to implement the fifth DORA metric (Deployment Rework Rate) in Apache DevLake. This would be a new feature request.

DevLake currently implements the four standard DORA metrics and has previously adapted to DORA's framework updates—for example, updating from MTTR to "Failed Deployment Recovery Time" based on DORA's 2023 report.

Current development efforts are focused on expanding data source integrations (ArgoCD, Azure DevOps) and bug fixes for existing metrics rather than adding new ones.

If you're interested in seeing this feature implemented, this issue could serve as a formal feature request, or you could open a dedicated discussion to gauge community interest!

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@klesh Can this issue be converted to a feature? My team is interested in this as well and maybe we can contribute but it would be great to see this in your roadmap?

@Dannyb48 I’m also interested in contributing to this feature. If you’re planning to work on it, I’d be happy to collaborate.
