This project has 5 different milestones or work packages and the project milestones are as
follows:
Milestone 1: Completion of project kickoff phase
This is the initial phase of the Warka Water Tower development phase. This particular
phase is divided in small subparts that deal with selection of location, investigation of site. Based

on the water supply issues in that particular location, the Warka water tower should be installed.
Primarily, just after developing the idea of the concept a prototype will be prepared in this phase.
Obviously that particular prototype should be approved by the project manager and project
sponsors.
Milestone 2: Completion of requirement gathering phase
Before the development of the Warka tower design, all necessary requirements are to be
gathered by the project managers and project developers. It is the responsibility of the project
manager to implement the Water in such as a way so that it could meet the criteria of the tower
that is followed all over. After the development of a full scaled prototype by testing the materials
the final construction of the Warka water tower will be prepared.
