Module 19: Admin, Security, Privacy, and Governance
Lesson 19.6: Governance Capstone: Create a Copilot Readiness Checklist
Lesson Promise
Create a practical readiness checklist for a responsible Copilot rollout.
Real-World Scenario
A small organization wants to know whether it is ready to expand Copilot beyond a pilot group.
Core Concept
Readiness combines licensing, technical prerequisites, data governance, security controls, user training, support, reporting, and adoption planning.
A checklist should be specific enough to make go/no-go decisions, not a vague maturity statement.
A strong governance capstone names owners, evidence, open risks, and next actions.
Step-By-Step Workflow
- Define rollout scope and pilot group.
- Verify licensing, technical requirements, and admin controls.
- Review data readiness and oversharing remediation.
- Map privacy, security, Purview, and agent governance controls.
- Prepare user training, support, and communications.
- Set reporting, review cadence, expansion gates, and owners.

Common Mistakes

- Buying licenses before cleaning up high-risk sharing and ownerless content.
- Ignoring sensitivity labels, retention, audit, DLP, and Purview workflows.
- Treating agent approval as a one-time app decision instead of lifecycle governance.
- Training users on prompts without training them on sources, privacy, and review.
