AI‑Assisted Development Kickstart Program
Improving
The AI Assisted Development Kickstart Program helps organizations move from AI curiosity to confident, practical adoption on Microsoft Azure. Many teams know AI can improve software delivery but struggle to apply it effectively within real Azure-based development workflows. This program bridges that gap by focusing on hands-on experience, real engineering practices, and measurable outcomes. Delivered as a guided, low-risk engagement, the AI Assisted Development Kickstart Program combines education, hands-on learning, and a real-world pilot to help teams safely integrate AI into their existing Azure application and DevOps environments.
It includes:
- Introduction & Alignment Session: An executive- and team-level session that establishes a shared understanding of AI-assisted development, how it fits into Azure-based architectures, and where it can provide the most value. This step aligns stakeholders on readiness, goals, and success criteria.
- Hands-On Workshop: A practical workshop that provides hands-on exposure to AI-assisted development patterns using an example project. Participants explore prompt engineering fundamentals, AI-assisted coding, refactoring, test generation, and early agent-driven workflows—all aligned to modern Azure development practices.
- Real-World Pilot: A focused pilot where AI is applied to a real customer initiative. An AI engineer works directly with the team to implement validated patterns, build reusable workflows, and demonstrate tangible improvements within Azure-hosted applications.
Improving's AI-Assisted Development Kickstart enables customers to:
- Accelerate adoption of AI within Azure-based application and development workflows
- Apply AI safely within existing Azure security, compliance, and governance frameworks
- Improve development speed, quality, and consistency across Azure-hosted solutions
- Validate high-value AI use cases before investing in large-scale transformation
- Create a clear roadmap for expanding AI usage across additional Azure workloads
By the end of the engagement, customers gain hands-on experience, a validated real-world pilot, reusable AI development patterns, and a clear path to scale AI adoption across their Azure environment. The AI Assisted Development Kickstart Program is a fast, practical way to turn Azure AI potential into real, production-ready results—without unnecessary risk or disruption.
