AI-Powered Development with GitHub Copilot: 1-Mo Proof of Value

PRODYNA's GitHub Copilot PoV offering is a structured program designed to integrate AI coding assistance into your development workflow. It includes setup, developer enablement, KPI definition, usage phases, and a comprehensive evaluation to scale GitHub Copilot across teams and improve coding efficiency and quality.

PoV Structure

Session 1: Copilot setup and KPI alignment

Duration: 1 day

Objective: Implement GitHub Copilot and establish a framework for evaluating its effectiveness throughout the duration of the PoV.

Agenda:

• Copilot activation: Guide your team through the setup process and ensure that GitHub Copilot is operational for all relevant developers.
• Developer Enablement: Conduct a hands-on enablement session to familiarize your developers with Copilot's features and best practices.
• KPI Discussion: Work together to define key performance indicators that will measure the success of the PoV, such as code completion rate, coding time reduction, and impact on defect frequency.
• Data Collection Strategy: Outline methods for collecting the data needed to assess the predefined KPIs and ensure accurate tracking of Copilot's performance.

Weeks of use

Duration: 1 month

Objective: Gain first-hand experience with GitHub Copilot

Your team will actively use GitHub Copilot in their daily coding tasks. This period is crucial for gathering empirical data and insights on how Copilot impacts the software development lifecycle. PRODYNA supports the teams by

• Monitoring and support: Providing ongoing assistance and technical support to ensure smooth integration and optimal use of GitHub Copilot.
• Data Collection: Collecting relevant data against pre-defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as code completion rate, coding time reduction and bug frequency. This data collection is critical for evaluating the effectiveness of Copilot during the PoV.
• Feedback loops: Encourage continuous feedback from developers using GitHub Copilot. This feedback is essential for understanding the user experience, identifying potential issues, and making adjustments to maximize the benefits of Copilot.
