“The metrics can be broken down into four broad categories — deployment rate metrics, response rate metrics, code quality metrics, and program management, assessment, and estimation metrics. The DIB also provides general timeframes for what a “good” score looks like for each metric." Original source: Defense Innovation Board proposes new metrics for assessing DOD software development
