Workshop

Beyond Code: Hands‑On AI Workflows for Architecture, Requirements, and Platform Engineering

Learn how to apply modern AI tools to the engineering work that shapes successful software long before coding begins. In this full‑day hands‑on workshop, you will use AI to explore architectural options, clarify business requirements, and build platform engineering and infrastructure scaffolding through realistic, guided scenarios. You will practice structured workflows drawn from the Architecture Process System, Requirements Process System, and Infrastructure Generation System, gaining repeatable patterns you can use to improve clarity, reduce rework, and accelerate delivery across your engineering organization.

Beyond Code: Practical AI Workflows for Architects, Engineers, and Product Teams

Learn how to use modern AI tools to accelerate the engineering work that happens before any code is written. In this hands‑on workshop, you will practice applying AI to real-world scenarios in architecture, business requirements, and platform engineering. Through guided exercises, you will generate architectural options, refine business intent, create structured requirements, and build infrastructure scaffolding using practical workflows drawn from the Architecture Process System, Requirements Process System, and Infrastructure Generation System. By the end of the day, you will have repeatable patterns and hands-on experience that help you use AI to improve clarity, reduce rework, and speed up delivery across your engineering organization.

Choosing the Right GitHub Copilot Model for Every Technical Task

Choosing the right GitHub Copilot model family can improve the quality, speed, and cost of your work across development, architecture, platform engineering, and analysis. This session explains how Copilot selects models, how to override those choices, and how to match model families to different types of technical tasks. You will learn how Copilot behaves across VS Code, Visual Studio, GitHub.com, the CLI, and the Agent Window, and how features like Copilot Instructions, AGENT.md, skills, and custom agents influence model behavior. The session gives you a practical framework for selecting the right model family and getting the best results for the best price.
