Overview

The GitHub Copilot integration connects your AI coding metrics with Scrums.com, enabling seamless analytics and delivery insights. Compare teams using different AI tools to determine where you’re getting the best ROI. We collect only the metadata required to provide value — never your code or sensitive content. Sensitive data, such as user IDs and organisation names, are always encrypted.
