How Cortex helps with DORA initiatives
Cortex moves DORA from status reporting to an actionable loop:1
Measure
Measure and visualize your metrics in the DORA Dashboard.
2
Investigate
Drill down into underlying data in Data Explorer.
3
Take action
Codify expectations by launching a Scorecard, allowing you to continuously evaluate entities against DORA standards using live data from integrated tools.
4
Validate impact
Review your DORA Dashboard to see improved metrics, validating the impact of the DORA Metrics Scorecard and other initiatives.
