### Configure Your Dashboard in < 5 Mins

This guide will walk you through a one-time set up that can be completed in minutes. You’ll learn how to:

Connect your repos and PM tool

Customize your metric calculations

Segment data by team, label, repo, and service

![Benchmark your performance.](https://assets.linearb.io/image/upload/c_fit,w_1920,h_1440/f_auto/q_auto/v1/dora-quickstart-header-2?_a=BAVMn6ID0)

### Benchmark Your Performance

Once you have your metrics in place, you’ll want to get a sense of where you stack up against industry peers. Your DORA dashboard will help you answer questions like: 

Is our 12-day cycle time good?

How about our average PR size of 250 lines of code?

Where does my engineering team stack up against industry peers?

### Apply PR Automation

Metrics alone don’t improve dev teams. The DORA Quickstart Guide will show you how to apply workflow automation to your bottlenecks. Learn how to actually improve your DORA metrics with the following automations:

CI Orchestration: Selectively trigger CI pipelines to reduce wait time

Code Experts: Auto- assign the most qualified developer to review your PRs

Review Time Labels: Add color coded labels to PRs with estimated review time
