Extract¶

The 2025 DORA Report found: individual developers using AI completed 21% more tasks and merged 98% more pull requests. However, organizational delivery metrics stayed flat. Code review time increased 91%, PR size grew 154%, bug rates climbed 9%. AI acts as an amplifier of existing organizational conditions, not a universal productivity improver.
