AI Developer Tooling Governance – GitHub Copilot & Claude Code
Project Overview
End-to-end governance of AI-assisted development tooling -from the cross-functional FAIRA Lite assessment that enabled executive approval of GitHub Copilot, through enterprise licence and cost governance, to the governed rollout of Claude Code. The GitHub Copilot implementation was presented at a national AI governance workshop coordinated across multiple jurisdictions.
Project Impact
The organisation adopted AI-assisted development with confidence -every tool risk-assessed, every seat and dollar governed, and the approach recognised at a national, multi-jurisdiction AI governance forum.
Project Objectives
Evaluate and enable safe, compliant use of AI coding assistants
Enforce access, licence, and cost governance across AI developer tooling
Establish provisioning, permission, and model routing controls for Claude Code
Turn policy requirements into practical development guardrails
Project Scope
The engagement spanned the full lifecycle of AI developer tooling adoption: risk assessment aligned to FAIRA Lite and QGEA AI Directions, executive decision support, licence and budget administration, and rollout governance for new agentic coding tools.
Key Areas
- FAIRA Lite risk assessment, mitigation register, and Conditions of Use for GitHub Copilot
- GitHub Copilot Enterprise seat management and AI credit budgets across cost centres
- Claude Code rollout: service principal provisioning, permission configuration, model routing
- Translation of policy into developer guardrails and usage guidance
Key Achievements
Executive-Ready Risk Assessment
Produced the FAIRA Lite risk assessment, mitigation register, and Conditions of Use artefacts that enabled informed executive decisions on AI-assisted development
Cost & Access Governance
Enforced access and cost governance for GitHub Copilot Enterprise, managing 25 licensed seats and configuring AI credit budgets across cost centres
Governed Claude Code Rollout
Established service principal provisioning, permission configuration, and model routing controls for the Claude Code rollout
National Recognition
Presented the GitHub Copilot implementation at a national AI governance workshop coordinated across multiple jurisdictions
