Training and Onboarding Developers on GitHub Copilot

A practical white paper covering the four key pillars for a successful rollout, a 90-day onboarding plan, and real training resources.

What's inside

To effectively connect early adopters with the larger group of more cautious users, it's important to create clear, repeatable onboarding processes and provide practical examples of how Copilot can solve real-world problems.

In this white paper, we'll cover:

  • How Copilot differs from other products.

  • The four key pillars for a successful rollout.

  • Suggested approaches for helping developers adopt Copilot.

  • A sample 90-day onboarding plan.

  • Resources for training developers to use Copilot.

This white paper assumes you've completed a pilot program and are ready to roll out Copilot to your broader organization. While we'll touch on the roles involved, managing the rollout, and measuring success, the main focus will be on training. For more information on running a pilot program and other technical details, check out the Copilot Learning Pathway and Copilot documentation.
