Aplicação do processo de design no desenvolvimento de um produto de software para suporte à inovação social

Abstract

Innovation can be described as a good Idea of solving a relevant problem implemented. Social Innovation is na innovation that at the same time meets a social need and creates new relationships or social collaborations. Social innovations of high impact and high scalability are generally aided by ICT(InformationandCommunicationTechnology).In thiscontext,this work presents the application of the Design Process for the inception, design and implementation of a software product to support Social Innovation. To do so, it was necessary to align the Design Process with a Social Innovation Model. The social innovation treated in this work consists in fomenting a social network of rainfall (Rainwater measurement) to support several áreas (agriculture, livestock, mobility, etc.) that use climatologic information in decision making. The developed software product maintains the Record and visualization of the pluviometric information shared by the people and consists of the first implemented capacity of a Time and Weather Collaboration Network.
