Github Copilot 1 Day Hands-On Workshop

Overview In one business day, we configure your GitHub Copilot environment, deliver hands-on developer training, and produce a tailored adoption roadmap — so your team leaves with working skills and a clear path to sustained AI-assisted productivity.

What's included (fixed scope) • Governance & Policy Configuration (Morning — 1 hour): Configure GitHub Copilot at the organization or enterprise level — content exclusions, IP indemnification policy review, proxy/network settings, and a custom instructions template aligned to your coding standards • Hands-On Lab Session (Morning — 3 hours): Instructor-led labs covering: code completion, inline chat, slash commands, multi-file edits, test generation, documentation generation, and security vulnerability remediation; labs available in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, and Java • Advanced Scenarios & Agentic Workflows (Afternoon — 2 hours): Agent Mode walkthrough, GitHub Copilot in pull request reviews, Copilot Extensions overview, and integration with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines • Adoption Planning & ROI Briefing (Afternoon — 2 hours): Build a 30/60/90-day adoption plan; executive briefing (45 min) on business value, governance considerations, and recommended next steps

Deliverables • Configured GitHub Copilot organization/enterprise policy settings • Hands-on lab guide (reusable, self-paced reference for attendees) • Custom instructions template aligned to your coding standards • 30/60/90-day enablement roadmap with quick wins and mid-term milestones • Executive summary slide deck (10 slides) for stakeholder communication

Prerequisites • Active GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise subscription (or trial activated prior to workshop day) • Participants require GitHub accounts and a supported IDE installed (VS Code, Visual Studio, or JetBrains) • Organization admin access required for policy configuration • Maximum 20 participants per cohort; virtual or on-site delivery available Notes This is an enablement engagement, not a licensing procurement service. GitHub Copilot license procurement can be arranged separately. A follow-on Managed Adoption Sprint (4-week) is available as an optional add-on.

Who Should Attend • Developers / Engineers — primary lab participants (full day) • Engineering Managers / Team Leads — governance and adoption planning sessions • IT / Security Administrators — policy configuration session (morning, 1 hour) • CTO / VP Engineering — executive briefing (afternoon, 45 min)

Why This Service GitHub Copilot is consistently shown to accelerate developer velocity — but most teams underutilize it due to poor setup, inconsistent prompting, and lack of governance. This one-day engagement delivers a production-ready configuration, trained developers, and a measurable adoption plan, all within a single focused business day.
