Workflow Opportunity Diagnosis
Diagnose the outcome and system friction worth redesigning instead of merely adding AI.
Scenario
Foundation caseYour strongest developer is 40% more productive with Copilot and AI tools. Meanwhile, code-review defect escape rose from 3% to 8%, and juniors reporting that they learn from this person's pull requests fell from 61% to 27%. The CTO likes the throughput gain and does not want intervention. Product wants to keep delivery speed; engineering management wants quality and learning back.
Your role
You are the engineering manager.
Your task
Diagnose the outcome and first redesign hypothesis without simply banning a tool.
