About this tag
The diary study tag on WindowsForum covers a detailed evaluation of Microsoft 365 Copilot within the UK Department for Business and Trade. The pilot, involving 1,000 licences, used diary study methods to capture user satisfaction, task completion times, and productivity impacts. Findings show high satisfaction and faster text-based tasks like writing and summarisation, but no clear department-level productivity gains. The study also highlights small ROI, accuracy concerns, and governance risks. This tag is relevant for enterprise IT professionals and researchers interested in real-world AI assistant deployment, productivity measurement, and organisational change management.
