Which two measures together BEST show shared success across technology teams?

The two best measures to showshared successacross technology teams arethroughputandstability:

Throughput(deployment frequency, lead time): Measures how fast teams deliver value.

Stability(change failure rate, MTTR): Measures how reliably systems operate.

Why these two?

Focusing onbothensures teams deliver quicklyandsafely. High throughput without stability causes outages; stability without throughput slows business.

Other options:

Deployment frequency + change lead/cycle time: Both are throughput measures, missing stability.

MTTR + change failure rate: Both are stability, missing throughput.

Employee retention and NPS: People measures, not delivery.

Extract-style reference:

“High performers in DevOps exhibit both high throughput (deployments per day) and high stability (low failure rates, fast recovery), proving it’s possible to achieve both.”
