Programme discipline at software speed. Every decision on the record.

Copilot4DevOps works inside Azure DevOps, where your programme requirements, verification and approvals already live. Elicit, analyse and generate with AI — and leave a reviewable record behind every change.

The problem

Where programme delivery actually stalls. It isn't the engineering.

The artefact burden grows with the programme

Every increment owes a specification, a verification matrix and a review record. Producing them by hand consumes the schedule the increment was given.

Traceability gets rebuilt, not maintained

Links between requirement, design, verification and defect are reconstructed for the milestone review rather than kept current.

Review is the queue

Ambiguity in a derived requirement surfaces at verification, not at elicitation. Rework lands on the assurance team with the milestone fixed.

You don't have to settle for the status quo. The evidence can be produced by the same act that does the work.

Use cases by role

Everyone on the programme, working in the same place.

Business analysts

Elicit requirements from controlled documents, statements of work and legacy specifications, annotated diagrams included.
Analyse for ambiguity, duplication and missing acceptance criteria before the item is committed.
Guided elicitation suggests the next work item type and inherits the parent's Area Path.

QA and verification

Generate test cases against any requirement in a minute, linked back to the item they verify.
Edit Test Steps tables inline or by chat without breaking their structure.
See coverage gaps while there is still sprint left to close them.

Engineering

Impact assessment before a change is accepted — what it touches, what has to be re-verified.
Diagrams and mockups generated from the requirement to settle intent early.
Agents triggered by builds, pipelines, repos and work item events.

Programme assurance

Documents and reports generated from the live project state, not a stale copy.
Every AI execution recorded and inspectable afterwards — plan, findings, stopping point.
Seven permission actions, set organisation-wide and overridable per project or team.
Capabilities

Twelve capabilities. Three that programme teams reach for first.

Susciter

Controlled documents into derived requirements

Statements of work, controlled specifications and legacy documentation become structured, publishable work items — with the next relevant item type suggested from your own hierarchy.

Générer

Verification artefacts that carry their links

Acceptance criteria, test cases and test steps derived from the work item’s own content and published into the backlog with links intact — so the verification matrix maintains itself.

Évaluation d'impact

Answer the change board before the meeting

See what a proposed change touches and what has to be re-verified, in the item itself rather than in a separate impact paper.

Chat IA

Ask about work items, pipelines and artifacts in natural language. Pick a specialist agent from the prompt or let intent decide; context carries across follow-ups.

Susciter

Turn documents, notes, transcripts and legacy specifications into structured, publishable work items — then get the next relevant item type suggested from your hierarchy.

Modification IA

Refine content in place inside the work item. Rewrite a description, tighten acceptance criteria, or edit Test Steps tables inline and by chat with their structure preserved.

Évaluation d'impact

Before a change is accepted, see what it touches and what has to be re-verified downstream.

Diagramme

Turn a requirement or document into a flow diagram, with editable diagram markdown beside it.

Outil de maquette

Sketch the interface a requirement implies, so intent is settled before build.

SOP / Document Generator

Produce procedures and documents from the live project state rather than a stale copy.

Transform & Convert

Move content between forms and item types instead of retyping it into a new template.

Assistant Q&R

Answer questions against the project's own artifacts, with the reasoning left on the record.

Work Item Insights

Surface what an item links to, what changed, and what that means for the work in front of you.

Invite dynamique

Reusable prompts for the requests your team repeats, so output stays consistent between people.

Bring your own data

Ground responses in your standards, templates, glossaries and prior specifications, so output reads like your organisation wrote it.

Agents4DevOps

Assistance becomes automation: agents built from a plain-language description, a template, or your own configuration — triggered manually, on a schedule, or by a DevOps event.

The question
The record
Where did this requirement come from?
Elicitation history sits on the work item, with the source document and its surrounding context preserved — including images pulled from the original file.
Prove this requirement is verified.
Generated test cases are linked to the requirement in Azure Test Plans, so coverage is a query rather than a spreadsheet.
Who approved this change, and when?
Review and approval are recorded against the item in Azure DevOps, not in an email thread beside it.
Explain what the AI did here.
Every execution is retained and can be inspected afterwards: the phases that ran, the agents and skills used, what was found, and where it stopped for a human.
Which tools was the AI allowed to call?
Individual tool calls are enabled or disabled organisation-wide from a control panel and enforced at runtime.

Copilot4DevOps supports your assurance process; it does not replace it or certify compliance on your behalf.

How it works

Four steps, all of them inside Azure DevOps.

STEP 01

Install into your organisation

It runs as an extension in the Azure DevOps you already use. No migration, no parallel repository of truth.

STEP 02

Point it at your inputs

Upload specifications and attachments. Embedded images are detected, kept with their context and read alongside the text.

STEP 03

Work in the tab you already open

Chat, analyse, generate and AI Edit sit on the work item. Pick a single agent, several, or let intent decide.

STEP 04

Keep the human in the loop

Agents can be set to pause and raise a task when a decision is needed, instead of proceeding on their own.

Proof

Used by organisations that answer to a review board.

Modern Requirements has been the go-to Microsoft partner for requirements management since 2015, working with defence, aerospace and public sector organisations where requirements must be traceable, reviewable and defensible.

By having the Modern Requirements suite to calculate scenarios for us, then generate test cases automatically and publish them to our Azure DevOps Server testing environment, we were able to reduce our UAT efforts by 50%.

Questions we get

The objections worth answering.

Can AI be used at all inside a controlled programme?

Nothing is committed silently. Output is proposed, reviewed and published by a person, and agents can be configured to stop and raise a task instead of acting alone.

Who can run the agents?

Seven distinct permission actions cover management, deletion, execution, enablement, job history, job deletion and task handling — set across the organisation and overridable per project, team or Azure DevOps group.

Does this change how our team works today?

Existing features, workflows and user interactions are unchanged by the V9 architecture migration. The agent layer sits behind the same interface.

Our inputs are controlled documents and annotated diagrams.

Images inside uploaded documents, attachments and Azure DevOps fields are detected, kept with their surrounding context and rendered inline, so text and visuals are read together.

What happens to the record when someone leaves?

The trail lives in Azure DevOps against the work items, so history survives staffing changes, tool churn and audits alike.

How long before we see anything?

Install, point it at one existing requirement set, and generate test cases against it in the first session. There is nothing to stand up first.
