Can DORA Still Guide us in the Age of Agentic AI Development
Thu, Feb 5 · 5:30 PM EST
6000 Freedom Square Dr, Independence, OH, US
DORA metrics serve as a reliable guide for teams navigating software delivery performance, but do they still serve in the age of Agentic AI? We will discuss the five core DORA metrics—drawing on the latest insights from Google's 2025 State of AI-assisted Software Development report. We then examine their evolving role in the age of agentic AI, where autonomous coding agents dramatically accelerate throughput and compress lead times while simultaneously amplifying existing weaknesses, often increasing instability and hidden rework.

We'll meet at the Improving Training Center in Independence, right off of I-77/Rockside Rd
