DORA Built The Measurement Foundation
- Dora metrics raised industry awareness and created a common foundation for engineering measurement.
- They shaped healthier cultures by focusing on four core metrics rather than gamifying delivery.

- Teams need leading indicators to know what to change and how to improve those outcomes.

- Prioritize reducing pickup and review idle time because they dominate total cycle time.
