Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR): Measuring and Improving Incident Response

Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) is a critical engineering metric that directly impacts developer productivity, code review processes, and overall software delivery performance. In today’s fast-paced development environments—especially within remote, hybrid, and platform engineering teams—tracking MTTR is essential not only for technical leads, but also for engineering managers, executives, and compliance-focused industries such as fintech and healthcare. This article explores the significance of MTTR, effective measurement strategies, and actionable steps for accelerating incident response using git analytics and DORA metrics, while highlighting how platforms like Gitrolysis can transform incident management into a strategic advantage.
