Easy-to-use, interactive event application tool
The Hague is home to many public events each year: cultural festivals, markets, and more. Citizens or organisations who want to organise events on their own property or in public areas, must submit a request for a permit to host the event. The permit needs to include a map illustrating the event's layout as well as its facilities.
The Municipality of the Hague wished to transform the process for applying for such a permit. Functionality and user-friendliness were the top priorities.

An easy-to-use, interactive application
Worth took on the challenge, and developed an easy-to-use interactive tool enabling event organisers to submit accurate event details, enabling municipal planning authorities to interact efficiently and facilitate organisation.
"By using scrum, the event card was delivered in short sprints so that the Municipality of The Hague achieved maximum value in a short time."
Dave Cunningham, Account Manager, Worth Systems
Choosing the right approach
Working scrum fit well with the development of the application. Although the method was unknown to many involved, the short sprints quickly made the consequences of choices visible and did not cause any impediments. This allowed the client to keep a grip on the process and progress. Moreover, the approach ensured that we were flexible in the scope. Working this way, we were able to achieve the maximum value in the time we had.
“The project was completed within the deadline and within budget. Many organizers have already submitted an application via the online tool.”
Narin Koendan-Panday, Information Manager, Municipality The Hague
