3) Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

-> 

Given the multiple organizations, teams, and users on our Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, the Custom Notification Banner will enable platform administrators to:

• Notify users about upcoming maintenance or downtime in advance.
• Inform users about upcoming upgrades or patches.
• Announce new features available on the platform after an upgrade or patch.
• Alert users about any downgraded features following an upgrade or patch.
• Share information about any known or ongoing issues and bug fixes post-upgrade or patch.
• Introduce new custom features developed by the Platform team for the benefit of end users.
• Communicate known or ongoing issues and bug fixes on custom features by the Platform team.
• Convey any other important messages from the Platform team.
• And many other use cases, especially when the user base is large.

This will significantly boost user confidence and encourage users to plan their tasks accordingly. Additionally, users can easily contact the Platform team to discuss notifications, greatly enhancing the user experience.
