The four DORA™ metrics on your Jira dashboard
Deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to restore, calculated from the releases, status changes and incidents already in Jira. No CI/CD setup.
Free for Jira sites with up to 10 users. Larger sites start with a free trial.
What you get
Screenshots from a real Jira site with sample data.
Four metrics in one gadget
Deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to restore for the last 30 days, 90 days, 6 months or 12 months. The Trends tab shows each one week by week or month by month.
- An Elite, High, Medium or Low band from the published DORA™ research.
- An arrow against the previous period of the same length, and one sentence in plain language.
- ⓘ explains how each number is calculated. Details lists what was left out.
No CI/CD setup
The gadget reads what Jira already has: released versions, status changes, bugs and incident tickets. A three-step wizard checks your project and recommends a setting.
- A deployment is a Jira release, or an issue reaching a status you pick. Releases are recommended when the project had at least three in the last 90 days.
- Use recommended settings saves it in one click.
- The first analysis reads up to 12 months once, usually in about a minute.
Before and after your AI rollout PRO
Enter the date your team started with Copilot, Rovo, Claude or Cursor. The AI Impact tab compares two equally long periods on all four metrics and says in plain words what changed.
- Both periods last as long as the time since the rollout, at most a year, and stay within the analysed history.
- AI-involved vs other issues: share of the completed work and median lead time.
- AI involvement from labels, issue types and app-account activity. Team totals only, never per person.
One metric for the wallboard PRO
The DevOps Metric Card gadget shows one metric in large type, with its band, the change against the previous period and a sparkline. Four cards make a team wallboard.
- One project, one metric and one period per card.
- Uses the definitions the project was set up with in the Overview gadget.
- Jira reloads it every 3 hours.
Reports in one click PRO
Take what the gadget shows into a review deck, a spreadsheet or a Confluence page. One click each, no dialog.
- PNG: a report image of the four tiles, or the current trend chart.
- CSV: one row per week of the selected period.
- Copy as text: a Markdown table with the plain-language sentences.

A short walkthrough of DevOps Metrics in Jira.
Jira alone vs. with DevOps Metrics
| Jira alone | With DevOps Metrics | |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment frequency | A report that needs deployment data from a connected CI/CD tool | Counted from Jira releases, or from issues reaching a status. Nothing to connect |
| Change failure rate and time to restore | Not among the built-in reports of Jira Software | From bugs raised within 14 days of a release (without releases: reopened issues), and from incident tickets |
| Effect of an AI rollout | No built-in before/after view | Two equally long periods before and after the rollout date, on all four metrics (Pro) |
Compared with Jira Cloud without apps. Jira's own deployment frequency report is described on Atlassian Support.
