Find Out If Your Business Is Ready to Adopt Copilot with the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard
In a recent video, Devin Knight introduces a powerful yet under-the-radar tool from Microsoft designed to help organizations assess their readiness for Copilot: the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard. Though released in November, this tool is still relatively unknown and offers a comprehensive way to evaluate Copilot adoption using Power BI and Microsoft Viva Insights.
What is the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard?
The dashboard is a Power BI app developed by Microsoft that integrates with your Microsoft 365 tenant. It provides insights into how prepared your organization is to adopt Copilot and how it is currently being used. The dashboard includes:
- Sample data for initial exploration
- Five detailed reports covering readiness, adoption, usage, and impact
- Integration with your tenant for real-time data analysis
Getting Started
Devin walks through the process of accessing the dashboard:
- Visit the Microsoft blog post introducing the dashboard
- Select the “Public Preview” option to access the Power BI app
- Install the app into your Power BI tenant (takes about 3–4 minutes)
- Connect the app to your organization’s data using your tenant ID
Key Features and Insights
Once installed, the dashboard provides a wealth of information, including:
- Readiness Reports: Evaluate if your organization meets the requirements for Copilot adoption
- Usage Metrics: Track Microsoft 365 app usage and Copilot activity over the past 28 days
- Top Prompts: Identify the most common Copilot prompts such as:
- Generating Outlook email drafts

According to Devin, the dashboard is more than just a reporting tool—it’s a strategic asset for organizations planning to roll out Copilot. It helps IT leaders and decision-makers:
- Gauge current adoption levels
- Identify areas for improvement
