So, you believe you've done everything necessary for your GitHub Copilot launch:

- Secured management approval (after only 37 PowerPoint slides)... check!
- Obtained the budget (and made some serious concessions with Finance)... check!
- Addressed an extensive array of security inquiries... check!
- Purchased the licenses (farewell, coffee fund)... check!
- Prepared to allocate licenses to your team (best of luck to them)... check!

We appear ready for liftoff... or are we? Hold on a moment! Before you venture into the Copilot universe, let's ensure no critical pre-launch procedures have been overlooked. Even NASA meticulously double-checks before liftoff.

Prepare for your final countdown with these five essential preflight checks. They will help guide you not only in leaving the launchpad but in achieving a successful GitHub Copilot deployment. After all, the only thing more challenging than a failed launch is justifying to management why your code isn't auto-generating yet.

So, fasten your seatbelt, review our checklist, and get ready to elevate your engineering practice to new heights!
