Abstract: We prove that the derived length of a solvable group is bounded in terms of certain invariants associated to the set of character degrees and improve some of the known bounds. We also bound the derived length of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a solvable group by the number of different $p$-parts of the character degrees of the whole group.
