kForge fits if…
- You present delivery metrics to management or to a client.
- Some of your deployments happen outside a pipeline.
- You need to demonstrate the traceability of your production releases.
kForge use case
The delivery metrics presented to management are often rebuilt in a spreadsheet, from only part of the deployments.
kForge calculates the four DORA metrics — deployment frequency, lead time for changes, time to restore, change failure rate — from your actual runs. It counts deployments started by a pipeline and those started from the command line.
A metric that saw only half the deployments would look credible while being wrong. kForge counts both paths.
From a commit to the ticket it resolves, from the ticket to the deployment, from the deployment to the metric: the chain can be consulted without manual reconstruction.
