The Ihsan Agile Pilot Program

Ihsan Agile is a developing framework.

The Core Principles are grounded in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The practices are designed based on consultancy experience. But we have not yet piloted the IAF role comprehensively in live organisations.

This is where we need you.

This is an Invitation, Not a Transaction

We're seeking early adopter organisations willing to pilot the Ihsan Agile Facilitator role as partners in participatory development, helping us refine the framework through real-world practice.

Who We're Looking For

Ideal pilot organisations:

• Islamic fintech startups building products for Muslim communities

• Muslim software development teams within larger organisations

• Islamic charities and NGOs using Agile for campaigns or service delivery

• Muslim tech companies committed to values-based development

• Community organisations managing projects with volunteer teams

What's Included in the Pilot

• Training & Support: Guidance on implementing the IAF role, adapting practices to your context

• Ihsan Agile Guide Access: Complete Version 1.0 Guide and all framework materials

• Ongoing Consultation: Regular check-ins to support your journey and address challenges

• Contribution to Practice: Your experience will help build the body of knowledge for Muslim tech and Islamic enterprise

• Founding IAF Recognition: Pilot participants will be automatically recognised as founding Certified Ihsan Agile Facilitators (CIAF) when the formal certification launches

• Community of Practice: Connection to other pilot organisations for shared learning

What We're Asking

• 2-3 sprint cycles minimum (typically 4-6 weeks) to give the approach a fair test

• Openness to having conversations about values and ethics become explicit in your workflow

• Feedback to help us refine the framework—both what works and what doesn't

• Permission to document lessons learned (anonymised) to improve Ihsan Agile for the ummah
