Our engineers were skeptical about the ability of Copilot to meet their needs and make them more productive. Many perceived it as more suited for administrative or managerial tasks rather than core engineering functions. Additionally, there was a lack of awareness about the full spectrum of capabilities offered by Copilot, leading to underutilization. We had our work cut out for us as we attempted to change perception and demonstrate real value for our engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identifying needs and driving usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address these challenges, we embarked on a series of activities aimed at demonstrating the value of Copilot to engineers. In Microsoft Digital, the company\u2019s IT organization, we\u2019ve learned that the best way to confront a skeptical audience is to listen carefully to their concerns, provide in-person hands-on training, and \u201cmake it real\u201d by applying AI to their day-to-day challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some ways we did this include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Focus group sessions on understanding engineering persona<\/strong>: We conducted focus group sessions to discuss engineers&#8217; day-to-day scenarios and identify needs that could be addressed by using Copilot. We looked for benefits beyond engineers\u2019 core work as programmers, as many of them were satisfied with the coding assistance available from <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/features\/copilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GitHub Copilot<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Hands-on training sessions<\/strong>: We gave our engineers opportunities to see first-hand how they could leverage Copilot to assist with tasks such as ideation, project planning, and technical documentation. As a result of these sessions, they learned how to use Copilot to generate diagrams, create user stories, and draft technical documents efficiently. This hands-on approach helped engineers understand the practical benefits of using Copilot in their daily work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Showcasing practical use cases<\/strong>: We highlighted real-life examples of how our engineers\u2019 peers have integrated Copilot into their daily routines. Highlighted examples included summarizing emails, drafting documents, and generating technical design documentation. By demonstrating these practical applications, we showcased the immediate benefits of using Copilot in everyday tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maximizing the value of Copilot for engineers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the insights gained from our adoption activities, here are 10 practical suggestions for how engineers can make the most of Copilot\u2019s features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Streamline meeting preparation<\/strong>: Copilot assists in setting up meetings by generating agendas and drafting meeting invites using simple prompts.
