Among all the KPIs, Lead Time for Changes often emerges as the most challenging metric for organizations. This KPI measures the time it takes for a code change to go from development to production. A long lead time indicates inefficiencies in the release process, bottlenecks in testing or deployment, and challenges in maintaining release velocity without compromising quality.
Why is Lead Time for Changes a Challenge?
- Manual Processes: Traditional release pipelines often rely on manual steps for testing, approval, and deployment, leading to delays.
- Complex Dependencies: Coordinating multiple services, dependencies, or teams can introduce unexpected delays.
- Error-Prone Releases: Ensuring that a release is bug-free while maintaining speed is a difficult balance.
- Lack of Automation: Insufficient automation in testing and deployment leads to slower releases and higher error rates.
