Metrics are a key resource to use when trying to improve performance, whether for baseball players, students, or developers. In software development and application modernization, it is obvious that you must measure results to show progress, but determining what metrics to track can be tricky.
The DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team was founded in 2014 and has published a set of 4 metrics that are quite helpful in getting started on the continuous improvement journey for mainframe software development.
In this session, we will learn
1. how each of these metrics applies to the development process
2. How to set up your organization to capture these metrics automatically
3. How to leverage the DORA4 metrics over time to communicate with the team and management about improvements and progress

Tim Ceradsky is a director with Value and Solution Engineering focused on Automated Mainframe Intelligence capabilities. He leads a team of subject matter experts in many aspects of advanced automation and mainframe tooling to deliver true mainframe DevOps automation projects for enterprises including now hybrid cloud storage for the mainframe. He has been driving DevOps conversations with mainframe clients since joining BMC (then Compuware) in July 2014 and led one of the first DevOps conferences targeted for mainframe companies in January 2015. He serves on the advisory board for the Missouri State University Computer Science department, develops AR/VR applications and expert systems for “fun”, and drives a Jeep Wrangler over large rocks on the weekends to get away. The lessons learned from practical, real-world experience are translated into BMC Test Drive experiences, where Tim's team has taken BMC tools, paired them with best of class automation frameworks such as Jenkins to create working automation toolchains that potential clients can access for themselves. Built from the ground up in an iterative, agile scrum fashion, the Test Drive evolves continuously and delivers immediate value to clients that need to see how automating manual processes actually works.
