[Verse 1] When managers count just lines of code They're missing treasures down the road Velocity numbers tell a lie Real productivity hides from the naked eye DORA metrics show the truth Four pillars holding up the proof [Chorus] D-O-R-A metrics guide the way Deployment frequency every day Lead time short, recovery fast Change failure low to make it last S-P-A-C-E framework fills the gaps Satisfaction, performance, activity maps Communication, efficiency too Five dimensions painting clearer view [Verse 2] How often do deploys ship out? That's frequency without a doubt Lead time measures start to done From commit made to production run Mean time to recovery counts When systems crash, how fast we bounce [Chorus] D-O-R-A metrics guide the way Deployment frequency every day Lead time short, recovery fast Change failure low to make it last S-P-A-C-E framework fills the gaps Satisfaction, performance, activity maps Communication, efficiency, too Five dimensions painting clearer view [Bridge] Change failure rate completes the four Quality gates that matter more Than counting commits or hours logged Developer joy can't be catalogued In simple numbers on a screen The human side needs space to breathe [Verse 3] Satisfaction keeps the team alive Performance shows how systems thrive Activity measures work that flows Communication networks that help code grow Efficiency means smooth and clean Not busywork behind the scene [Outro] Beyond velocity's narrow lens True productivity transcends Four metrics plus five dimensions wide Let DORA and SPACE be your guide
