Quoting:
"Companies want to deliver high quality software fast, but how fast is fast enough? A recently released report by CircleCI found three important development metrics to predict an organization’s velocity and maturity.
The metrics are:
- mainline branch stability,
- deploy time and
- deploy frequency.
“Most teams have no idea what speed actually means,” said Jim Rose, CEO of CircleCI. “They are deploying and they are doing it at a rate that feels good to them, but they don’t necessarily know where that stacks up compared to the rest of the market.”
The study looked at a sample of organizations built on the CircleCI’s cloud platform from June 1 to July 31, 2017."
