Abstract

The purpose of this study was to create a web application for a socioeconomic observatory that allows monitoring indicators from different sources from the Research Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIIEMP) of the Regional Multidisciplinary School (FAREM) Estelí. For the development of the web application the active development methodology SCRUM was used, where the entire application was divided into function modules named Sprints to take the functionality step by step in a controlled manner; also some tools as Sublime Text were used for coding with the support of the Laravel framework and MYSQL as a database manager. The findings of this paper, a web application with different modules was achieved, such as news related to the “socioeconomic” subject. It has a profile for the institutions that will provide a large part of the information that will feed the web application. There is also a thesis repository where the socio-economic researches elaborated by the different careers of the University will be amplified. Besides, one of the main functions of the application is the monitoring of indicators where comparisons can be made between current and previous records shown in both graphs and tables, this information can be of great help for investors, the general population and for future research.
