Project: SmartWeather
Company background
SBM is a large IT company with offices all around the world. The company offers a full range of products
and services. One of the reasons for its success has been the ability to be a trailblazer in terms of
inventing new technology and finding new uses for technology. SBM’s emerging technologies division is
always monitoring new technology and figuring out ways in which it can serve the community. This
project is being executed through this division.
SmartWeather
A Product Owner in the new technologies division came up with the idea of creating a weather portal
and providing weather-based services to multiple customers. The basic idea of the weather portal is to
be able to pull the weather forecasts for any location from multiple public services and aggregate them
for the common user. The data can be put to a number of different uses.
The main system will comprise a web portal and a set of “apps” available on the popular mobile
operating systems. Apart from this, clients can ask for specific services or apps based on the data that is
collated.

Placeholders for advertising on portal and app
Show current weather
Show 5-day forecast by default

Apart from creating, maintaining, and enhancing the main portal, there are several client projects that
are lined up.
