GitHub Copilot for coding and beyond: Tips, Tricks, and Stickers!
GitHub Copilot is the most popular AI assistant for engineers around the world, and for good reason. Like with every new technology, we must learn how to leverage it's capabilities to the fullest extent, and so we're all learning about prompt engineering and keeping up with the latest features while working on our hot pile of backlog.
This is your moment to kick back, and learn about effectively using Copilot for coding, and beyond. In this demo heavy session, Suzanne will share features of GitHub Copilot that can help any role in engineering to be more effective, how to improve your prompting skills, and stickers.
Session description is omitting specific examples, it will always be up-to-date with what we announced publicly. T
5 tips to burn out your engineers
In this lightning talk Suzanne gives you 5 quick tips to 10X burn out in your engineering organization.
From Brainstorming to Release with M365, Azure and GitHub Copilot
Studies show that up to 60% of engineering time is spent on non-coding tasks: gathering context, navigating documentation, and syncing across tools. We rely on platforms like Microsoft 365 for collaboration and GitHub Copilot to boost productivity and pair program.
But what if these platforms worked together to streamline your entire software development lifecycle?
In this session, Suzanne Daniels will walk through an implementation starting from emails and project notes, ending in production code. You'll learn how to use out-of-the-box features in M365 and GitHub Copilot to keep valuable context intact across your SDLC and go from idea to implementation better, faster and with less context switching.
Engineering Organizations at the Speed of AI: Rethinking Teams, Roles, and Decision-Making
AI is fundamentally reshaping the fabric of engineering organizations. In this session, we’ll explore how agentic workflows, AI-assisted coding, and platform engineering principles are driving a seismic shift in how teams are structured, how product management evolves, and how architectural tradeoffs are surfaced and codified. Agentile Teams are built for this new reality – combining the best of lean, agile, and agentic principles to empower humans and AI to work side by side, faster and smarter than ever before.
Drawing on real-world experiments and industry trends, Suzanne will discuss the new operating models that enable rapid experimentation, early decision-making, and scalable knowledge sharing – without sacrificing security, capacity, or cost control. Leaders will leave with actionable insights on designing resilient, high-velocity organizations ready for the next era of software engineering.

Agentile Teams: Where AI, Platform Engineering, and Human Creativity Redefine Software Delivery
What if your engineering team could move at the speed of AI – without sacrificing quality, security, or control? Enter the Agentile Team: a lean, AI-powered, and platform-enabled evolution of Agile, designed to amplify human creativity.
In this session, we’ll explore how Agentile teams codify architectural tradeoffs (security, capacity, cost) into specs, templates, and guardrails, enabling rapid experimentation and smarter decision-making from day one. Drawing on real-world experiments and platform engineering principles, Suzanne will share practical strategies for developers and platform engineers to thrive in this new era of agentic, high-velocity software delivery.
