DORA metrics are not effective for evaluating platform engineering as they don't capture all the work done, are influenced by code quality and other teams, and fluctuate depending on features in development. Additionally, DORA metrics do not take into account user-centric metrics, generative culture, and the impact of a changing tech landscape on platform engineering. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
