# Getting started

## Track and improve DORA metrics

You can't improve what you don't measure. Sleuth lets you do both!

## Setup [deployment & metrics tracking](/sleuth-dora/modeling-your-deployments.md) in 5 minutes

Getting started with **Sleuth** takes about 5 minutes. Link your code and Sleuth will instantly begin to track your deploys.

* [ ] **Create a Sleuth account.** You'll need one to get started. You can create an account via OAuth using your Google, GitHub, or Bitbucket account. [Signup](https://app.sleuth.io/account/signup/) is instant and setup takes less than 5 minutes!
* [ ] **Setup your** **organization and project**. You can make as many projects as needed to model your deployments, but Sleuth creates one for you by default. Each project contains one default environment: *Production*.
* [ ] **Connect your code**. Sleuth supports GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab and [more](/sleuth-dora/integrations-1/code-deployment.md)! Sleuth will instantly analyze your commits, pull requests and authors, calculate your team's last 30 days of deploy frequency and change lead time, and highlight meaningful, actionable data.
* [ ] **Let us know when you deploy**. Sleuth works with your tools and **every deployment system**. Using any of our native [CI/CD integrations](/sleuth-dora/integrations-1/builds.md) or our light-weight, [webhook-based deploy registrations](/sleuth-dora/modeling-your-deployments/code-deployments/how-to-register-a-deploy.md), you'll be up and running in moments with your existing tooling.
