Turn Metrics Into Momentum

Your DORA metrics are more than just numbers. They are powerful levers for transformation. When used together, they can unlock faster delivery, smoother workflows, and stronger results. By aligning your metrics instead of optimizing them in isolation, you can eliminate bottlenecks, maximize every improvement, and keep your team's momentum moving forward.

In this webinar, Nathen Harvey, DORA Lead & Dev Advocate at Google Cloud and Ganesh Datta, CTO at Cortex will show you how to operationalize DORA metrics so they work together, transforming insight into sustained impact.

In just 45-minutes, you'll learn how to:

Balance all four DORA metrics for sustained gains
Identify key capabilities to focus on to boost cycle time, failed deployment recovery time, change failure rate, and deployment frequency (without tradeoffs)
Link engineering improvements directly to business outcomes

Platform Engineers

See how an Internal Developer Portal can accelerate cycle time, boost deployment frequency, and reduce failed deployment recovery time, while giving teams the self service capabilities they need to move faster without sacrificing quality.

SRE Teams

Discover strategies to lower change failure rates, improve recovery speed, and use leading indicators to detect issues before they impact users, ensuring reliability remains a competitive advantage.

Save your spot!

Whether you lead a platform team, SREs, or org-wide engineering excellence program, you'll walk away with a proven framework to operationalize metrics, sustain improvements, and drive meaningful business outcomes.

Trusted by engineering excellence experts

Be among the first to see what’s never before been possible.

Platform engineering teams are tasked with improving developer experience, ensuring consistent governance, and enabling discovery and access to software development and delivery capabilities. Engineering and platform engineering leaders use internal developer portals to address these challenges.

Cortex is the leading commercial internal developer portal. Cortex was launched a full year before Backstage, and we’ve been leading the charge in supporting the most complex engineering organizations ever since.
