The scrum methodology was implemented to promote good practices for team and collaborative work, in terms of us phases from inception to launch of the product which is the mobile application. In addition, balsamiq was used as a prototype design tool. And so the objective of creating the prototype for its development was achieved. The goal of creating the prototype for the application was achieved. Positive results were obtained in terms of user and customer satisfaction.
