DORA Dojo Curriculum – 12 LinkedIn Posts
Post 1 – Welcome to the DORA Dojo (White Belt)
📊 Too many teams treat DORA like a scoreboard. Wrong move.
👉 DORA = compass, not trophy.
⚡ Drill:
-
Guess your DF, LT, CFR, MTTR as a team
-
Then check actuals
-
Compare → where’s the biggest gap?
🧭 Compass sketch:
N = Lead Time
W = Deploy Freq E = MTTR
S = CFR
💡 Challenge: Which metric feels most alive in your team right now?
Post 2 – Deployment Frequency: Repetition Kata (Yellow Belt)
🎵 Shipping is like scales in music: practice = fluency.
⚡ Drill: “Friday Release Dojo”
-
Deploy 1 small change
-
Practice rollback
-
Reflect
Checklist:
✅ Build → ✅ Deploy → ✅ Rollback → ✅ Reflect
💡 Challenge: Can you add one extra deploy this week?
Post 3 – Lead Time: Flow Mapping Sparring (Yellow → Green Belt)
🚦 Lead time shows where work waits, not just works.
⚡ Drill:
-
Run a 20-min value stream map with sticky notes
-
Circle 1 handoff you can shorten this sprint
📉 ASCII Flow:
Idea → Backlog → Dev → Review → Deploy → User
💡 Challenge: Where does your work wait the longest?
Post 4 – Change Failure Rate: Safe-to-Fail Experiments (Green Belt)

(per full draft already done)
💡 Challenge: When was your last practice incident?
Post 6 – Balance of the Metrics (Blue → Purple Belt)
⚖️ Optimize one metric too hard → another breaks.
DF ↑ too much? CFR might spike.
⚡ Drill:
-
Plot your 4 metrics on a 2x2
-
Discuss trade-offs as a team
ASCII sketch:
DF ↑ LT ↓
CFR ↓ MTTR ↓
💡 Challenge: Which metric are you over-rotating on?
Post 7 – Feedback Dojos (Purple Belt)
📢 Metrics without feedback = noise.
⚡ Drill: Run a retro with just 3 Qs:
-
What did this metric teach us?
-
What’s our next small experiment?
-
What will we stop tracking?
💡 Challenge: When’s the last time a retro was metric-focused?
Post 8 – CI/CD: Your Dojo Floor (Purple Belt)
⚡ Every commit = a rep. Pipelines are practice mats.
⚡ Drill:

Measure your longest CI/CD step
-
Shave 10% off this sprint
