SPACE is often compared to DORA metrics, but these frameworks differ in important areas. Focus DORA metrics focus on the continuous delivery aspects of software development, evaluating deployment frequency, lead time for changes, time to restore service, and change failure rate. SPACE metrics provide a broader evaluation of productivity, including social and psychological elements. This holistic approach includes not just the outputs of software development but also factors affecting the team’s working environment and interactions. Scope and application DORA metrics are highly focused on delivery speed and stability, making them useful for DevOps practices aiming at improving release cycles and reliability. SPACE metrics aim to capture a wider range of factors that influence developer productivity beyond delivery capabilities. This includes elements such as developer satisfaction, the quality of communication within teams, and overall efficiency in workflows.
