The Agile Serum methodology was applied, which consists of three phases, having both the functional and non-functional requirements of the system and the delivery plan in the planning phase, in the sprint development phase, the established requirements were developed; design and functionalities of the system, and finally the closing phase in which the usability test was performed for the evaluation of the application and also the project management, which was represented by the graph of BurnDown Chart, in which you can see the project evolution. For the project development, free software tools were used, such as Sublime Text 3, MySQL Database, PHP programming language, the Wamp Server web development environment, Bootstrap, and Apache, which were efficient at the time of carrying out and fulfilling the expected functionalities of the project. The evaluation for the usability of the system was carried out by applying the usability test, which consists of blocks such as Identity, which obtained 65% acceptance, Content with 82%, Navigability with 87%, and Utility with 80% acceptance, having a total of 78% acceptance, in this way it is determined as a quality software in terms of usability. It is concluded that the web application complies with the requirements established for the management of events and adjusts to the needs of the institution, it is an easy to use and intuitive system for the user.
