New Training: AI-Powered Backlog Management with GitHub Copilot, Azure DevOps MCP Server, and Agent Skills
We are pleased to announce our new full-day hands-on workshop: AI-Powered Backlog Management with GitHub Copilot, Azure DevOps MCP Server, and Agent Skills.
This practical workshop shows how reusable Agent Skills help product, engineering, and delivery teams move beyond isolated prompts and apply AI through shared backlog workflows. Participants create a hierarchical backlog from source requirements, review proposed content in local files, refine existing work items, and publish only approved changes to Azure DevOps.
The training combines GitHub Copilot, the Azure DevOps MCP Server, and reusable Agent Skills in a prepared browser-based GitHub Codespaces environment with Azure DevOps and GitHub Copilot access included.
It is designed for Product Owners, Business Analysts, developers, engineering managers, delivery leads, Scrum Masters, and Agile Coaches who want to improve backlog quality, reduce manual administration, and make AI part of a controlled team workflow.
Note: The course implementation is Azure DevOps and GitHub Copilot-specific, but the operating model is widely applicable to similar platforms that offer suitable AI integrations.
