DORA-style metrics from Jira, without GitHub or CI instrumentation

DORA metrics from Jira alone, no GitHub required

Most DORA tooling assumes deep access to your Git history and CI pipelines. That works if you have the time and appetite to instrument every repository and deploy job. Many engineering leaders do not — and their richest record of how work actually flows already lives in Jira.

Delimetrics reads that flow. As issues move through your workflow, we capture when work started, when it finished, and how long it waited. From those transitions we derive DORA-style delivery signals without touching a single repository. The differentiator is simple: you get the leadership view DORA is famous for, from Jira, without GitHub or CI in the loop.

The delivery metrics you get

To be precise about what these numbers are: they are derived from Jira issue flow, not from deployment events in a pipeline. That makes them an honest, leadership-level read on how work moves through your teams.

• Throughput — how much work your teams complete over time, the Jira-flow equivalent of deployment frequency.
• Median cycle time — how long work takes from the moment it goes in progress to done.
• Median wait time — how long work sits idle before anyone picks it up, the queue cost most teams never see.
• MTTR — mean time to restore, measured from your bug and incident tickets, broken out by priority.
• Predictability — how reliably committed work actually lands.

Why a Jira-only approach works for leaders

For tech leaders, boards, and investors, the question is rarely "how often does a specific pipeline deploy." It is "are teams getting faster, where does work get stuck, and can we trust the delivery trend." Jira issue flow answers exactly those questions, and it covers all the work — not just the part that happens to flow through a particular CI system.

• Nothing to instrument: no Git hooks, no pipeline plugins, no agents.
• Covers every team and work type on the board, including teams without standard CI.
• Trends over weeks, months, and quarters that map cleanly to the way you already report.
