Version 1 scope

Assessment-first SQL insight inside Teams

Version 1 delivers a narrow, high-value Azure SQL assessment experience focused on first-response diagnosis, speed, clarity, and repeatability.

Target persona

Non-technical Azure SQL users

IT generalists, analysts, and application owners are often the first to respond when performance issues arise. They are accountable for business impact, but they are not trained as DBAs.

Responsible for diagnosing SQL performance issues Lack expertise to interpret SQL metrics Unable to confidently identify root causes Need better escalation context for DBAs

Customer problem

Too much friction before the expert even gets involved

01

Hard to interpret

Azure SQL performance data is difficult for non-experts to understand.

02

DBA bottlenecks

Customers rely heavily on scarce DBA resources for early triage.

03

Slow cycles

Troubleshooting cycles drag when symptoms and context are unclear.

04

Business risk

Impact increases when issues are not clearly understood or escalated.

How value is delivered

Conversational assessment with explainable outputs

01

Capture request

Users ask simple natural-language questions in Teams.

02

Infer intent

The agent identifies the performance question and required checks.

03

Run checks

Signals are assessed across queries, waits, resources, and storage.

04

Summarize

Likely causes and threshold issues are explained in plain language.

05

Return to Teams

Safe next steps and DBA-ready questions land where the work happens.

Assessment coverage

Focused checks for the issues teams actually escalate

Slow-running queries

Wait statistics and blocking patterns

Resource utilization limits

Storage throughput and latency issues

Clear first-response triage reduces back-and-forth, improves handoff quality, and gives non-technical users the confidence to move from insight to action.
