Agilova was founded on a simple belief: high performing organisations are built on high performing teams — and high performing teams are built on people, not just processes and tooling.
We are people-centric by design. We use data to inform every decision, automation to remove friction, and emotionally intelligent coaching to unlock the human performance that no framework alone can deliver.
Our measure of success is always outcomes, aided by outputs. Velocity points and burn-down charts are useful but we prefer customer-centric organisations that genuinely operate better, faster, and more sustainably long after we've gone.
Abbas Ghahremani — Founder & Principal Consultant
Technology changes. Frameworks evolve. But it’s always people who deliver. We lead with emotional intelligence — understanding your teams as humans first, resources second.
We measure success by what changes in your organisation — not velocity points, story counts, or documents produced. Real outcomes. Measurable impact. Always.
Intuition has its place — but every recommendation we make is grounded in data. We baseline, measure, and validate. If it can’t be measured, we question whether it matters.
Manual processes are the enemy of high performance. We identify automation opportunities that free your teams to focus on work that actually requires human intelligence.
Don't take our word for it — here's what the people we've worked alongside have to say.
Abbas led and delivered a large and complex target operating model transformation across a ~200-person organisation, moving from a component-based structure to a customer-centric model grounded in domain-driven design. He maintained a strong focus on measurable outcomes, consistently tracking and communicating progress against key delivery metrics to key stakeholders on the journey. Most notably, the average cycle time reduced from 22 days to 8 days.
Abbas is a rare talent who understands that building a high-performing product requires more than just technical oversight; it requires building a high-performing culture. During our time working together on a complex real-time payments initiative, Abbas was instrumental in hiring and scaling a premier engineering team from the ground up. He doesn’t just ‘do’ Agile; he coaches it at every level, helping senior stakeholders and engineers alike embrace a mindset of continuous improvement. His ability to use metrics to turn abstract challenges into actionable wins makes him an asset to any organization looking to scale effectively.
Having worked closely with Abbas at WorldFirst, I’d recommend him to any business looking for a highly skilled Agile delivery or transformation person. Abbas will work with teams in such a way that deliver results, applying Agile principles and techniques to drive the right business and team outcomes.
Abbas is an effective programme manager who leads complex transformations across agile engineering teams, from major programmes like Jira Cloud migrations to improving standards and delivery practices. He brings pragmatic leadership and a strong focus on data quality and scalable ways of working.
I worked with Abbas closely as we built the Mastercard Vocalink next generation real time payment system and have known Abbas professionally since 2018. He is a unique consultant — breadth and depth of knowledge as well as a high EQ. Many times I could ask him to assist with carrying out a task and knew I could trust him to deliver it to high quality. He is able to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and can bring a team together in such a way they support each other in a high performing environment. I have no hesitation recommending Abbas and hope to work with him again in the future.
