What if you could assign an issue before lunch and come back to a review-ready pull request?

GitHub’s agentic workflows make that possible. The coding agent can spin up an environment, implement a feature, run checks, review its own work, and open a PR. But this is not autonomy. It is structured delegation. You define the boundaries, standards, and expectations, and the agent executes within them.

In this session, we’ll take a real issue from backlog to pull request and examine what actually works today. You’ll see how to configure the Copilot coding agent, define custom agents in your repository, integrate MCP servers, and use Agentic Workflows to express automation in plain Markdown.

You’ll leave knowing how to delegate work effectively, how to define agents that reflect your team’s practices, and where agentic workflows deliver real value along with the guardrails you still need.
