A notice at the top of the page: planned maintenance on Saturday, a release going out, a process changing on Monday. One Global banner for the whole workspace, plus a Project banner per project for things only that team needs to read. Each has a severity style, a schedule, and a choice about whether people may dismiss it.

What you can do

Availability: Business and above.
Turn it on: The workspace-wide notice is at Administration → Banner and needs no module. For a per-project notice: Project → Settings → Modules → tick Banner.
Permissions: The Global banner is administrators only. It is seen by everybody, so it is not a per-project right.
Settings: Leave it off unless you need it. A banner is displayed to everyone, so widening what its text may contain widens what anyone who can write one can put in front of the whole workspace.
Using it: Open Administration → Banner, or a project's Banner page. Write the Message and pick a Style: Info, Warning, Critical or Maintenance.

The workspace-wide notice, with its schedule — From a live RedminePRO workspace.
