In this article, we present an agile method based on a cycle of meetings that guides the construction of intelligent decision support systems. This method presents the phases of initiation, analysis and planning, negotiation, control and intelligent decision support. A cycle represents a passage through all the phases of the method, where as the execution of a phase means that all the planned meetings were held. Each meeting lasted 15 min, and input and output were composed of artifacts that supported the evolution of each meeting. In the initial phase, a meeting was held with everyone with the cards for the survey of the requirements and the construction of the 3D graph to represent the size. In IT meetings, artifacts, forms and tables were used to define the first packages. In the analysis and planning phases, the objectives by key results form were used. In the negotiation, we use the structural sets form. In the control phase, we have the configuration artifact and its control graph. Finally, in intelligent decision support, we use the essential questions form. The method serves as a guide for building intelligent decision support systems that can help with problems like determining whether or not to sign a contract.•In the initial phase, cards for requirement gathering together with a complexity graph and Board Requirements by Layers and Key Person supported the organization of development packages.•In the control phase, the input structures enabled the creation of a continuous control artifact. Furthermore, the control chart showed what is in scope and is part of ongoing control.•The intelligent decision support phase guaranteed the refinement of requirements, which brought intelligence criteria to the development packages and gave them their unique characteristics.
