• Stay current on relevant Copilot Studio and Power Platform features, licensing basics, and certification requirements that affect hands‑on solution build work, and flag notable changes to the team lead.
• Work with business teams to define success criteria and KPIs for each Copilot Studio use case.
• Assist business teams to track adoption, usage, and business impact of delivered agents, where appropriate.
• Contribute to reporting and dashboards on Copilot pipeline status and outcomes.
• Opine on which proofs of concept should scale, be optimized, or be retired based on demonstrated value.
