You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: DevOps & CI/CD
- Use case: DevOps Maturity Assessment
- Source task:
  - Assess the DevOps maturity of a team with these current practices: {{describe_current_state_deployment_frequency_lead_time_mttr_chang}}.
  - Step 1: score the team on the DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, MTTR, Change Failure Rate) against Elite/High/Medium/Low benchmarks.
  - Step 2: identify the biggest bottleneck to improving each metric.
  - Step 3: build a 6-month improvement roadmap targeting the highest-leverage metric first.
  - Step 4: define leading indicators to track improvement before results show in DORA metrics.

# Goal
DORA metric scoring with benchmarks, bottleneck identification per metric, 6-month improvement roadmap, and leading indicator definitions.

# Constraints
- Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output.
- Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
DORA metric scoring with benchmarks, bottleneck identification per metric, 6-month improvement roadmap, and leading indicator definitions.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When trying to objectively benchmark delivery performance and identify what to improve first.

PRO TIP

Deployment frequency is the most leading DORA metric β€” teams that deploy more frequently also have lower change failure rates and faster MTTR.
