GitHub Copilot Enterprise Workshop

GitHub Copilot Enterprise: 3-Day Workshop helps engineering, security and platform leaders plan how to adopt GitHub Copilot and its AI agents safely, with identity, security and cost controls designed on Microsoft Azure before licenses are rolled out.

Many organizations already have developers experimenting with AI coding assistants without central policy, identity controls or a way to measure value. This workshop turns that into a governed plan: which teams start first, which use cases pay back fastest, how Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security are enforced through your existing branch protections and reviews, and what it will cost.

Who should attend: CTO or Head of Engineering, engineering managers, DevOps and platform leads, CISO or application security lead, Microsoft Entra ID administrator, and a finance or procurement contact for Day 3.

Agenda

Day 1 – Discovery and the art of the possible

• Business goals, current SDLC, source control landscape (GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, Azure DevOps, GitLab, Bitbucket) and developer tooling
• GitHub Copilot capabilities: code completion, Copilot Chat, agent mode in the IDE, the Copilot coding agent, Copilot Spaces and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration
• Live demo: a GitHub issue assigned to the coding agent, producing a pull request governed by branch protections and security checks
• Use-case ideation: framework upgrades, synthetic test data, regulatory change delivery, vendor code review, infrastructure as code and incident response

Day 2 – Identity, security and governance design

• Identity with Microsoft Entra ID: single sign-on, Conditional Access, MFA, Enterprise Managed Users and SCIM provisioning
• Permission model from enterprise to repository; Copilot access, feature and model policies
• Data handling: what context Copilot uses, where your code lives, and which capabilities require GitHub-hosted repositories
• GitHub Advanced Security: Secret Protection (push protection, custom patterns) and Code Security (CodeQL, Copilot Autofix, Dependabot)
• Rulesets: required reviews, status checks, signed commits, and alert versus blocking modes

Day 3 – Pilot plan, cost model and executive readout

• Billing GitHub through your Azure subscription, cost centers and chargeback
• Cost model for GitHub Copilot, GitHub Enterprise and Advanced Security based on your team sizes
• 30-day pilot design: teams, repositories, success metrics and adoption plan
• Executive readout and adoption roadmap

Deliverables

• Current-state summary of your SDLC and source control estate
• Target identity, permissions and security governance design
• Prioritized use-case backlog
• 30-day pilot plan with success metrics
• Cost model and executive readout presentation

Prerequisites: Availability of the stakeholders listed above. Read-only visibility of your Entra ID and repository configuration is helpful but not required. No code migration is needed to take part.

Not included: GitHub or Copilot licenses, production configuration and code changes. These can be delivered in a follow-on pilot or implementation engagement.

Delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams in three sessions of about four hours each; on-site delivery is available on request.
