Context: People are a key element of change in organizations and its driving force. The need to understand people as an essential and creative component of the structures and processes is a critical success factor for governance initiatives. Objective: Inspired by the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, this paper proposes the Agile Governance Manifesto as a behavioral reference for individuals and teams in order to help implement agile governance in organizations. Method: This proposal emerges as an inductive and structuralist look over the findings from a broad research developed to describe and analyze the agile governance phenomena, supported by several complementary studies: systematic literature review, observation and interaction of professional groups based on social networks, semi structured interviews, and explanatory survey with representative agents of the phenomena under study. Results: We characterize the agile governance phenomena with six meta-principles and nine meta-values are discussed in order to guide future researches and especially to drive practices on agile governance. Conclusion: This proposal is to be used as an instrument to build an appreciative and positive organizational culture in order to pave the way for smoother and gradual adoption of agile governance.
