About
Mike Abugow, an Agile Coach with over 20 years of IT experience across a broad range of industries and roles including, believe it or not, as a switchboard operator early in my career. That unique journey has taught me the value of listening first, which is why my motto is, “Let’s talk about the ‘why’ before we start the work.”
I specialize in Agile transformations at both the team and enterprise levels, helping organizations not just do Agile, but beAgile. I’ve led transformations in healthcare, finance, telecom, and retail, guiding executives, Scrum Masters, and teams alike through practical, people-centered change. Whether it’s standing up new Agile frameworks, optimizing tooling like Azure DevOps and Jira, or creating Agile playbooks and communities of practice, I build strong relationships that drive lasting results.
What sets me apart is my ability to connect with people at all levels—helping organizations achieve clarity, alignment, and momentum. If your team is ready to evolve how it works, I’m ready to help you get there.
