Feasibility Study:
As the name implies, a feasibility analysis is employed to
work out the viability of a thought, like ensuring a project is legally and technically
feasible also as economically justifiable. It tells us whether a project is well worth the
investment—in some cases, a project might not be doable.

Expertise of the Team Members:

• Knowledge
It enables the collective processes we eventually develop to take into
account an individual’s or sub-group’s rights, and ensures that institutional and
community objectives are met. The multifunctional team should be equipped with
basic knowledge, including: An understanding of expertise in communication
techniques, which are essential for ensuring participation and under taking in-depth
social analyses from an age, gender and diversity perspective.

• Skills
A few specific skills are required to ensure that the participatory process is
successful and to support a rights and community-based approach. Communication
skills are the most important and crucial in enabling people to work together on a
common task or towards a common goal. Communication is a two-way process:
Information is both received and transmitted through sharing and listening. Persons of
concern can participate meaningfully only if they have access to the same accurate
information as humanitarian workers. Listening is the most important part of
communication.

 Milestones
During the development, the Milestone we achieved in this phase is that
how can we an overview of project. By using this planning method project is divided
into different phases. In first phase there is no need of much details as this system not
include specific task or budget. This phase cannot only provide a good overview of the
entire project, but also provide us a little bit motivation. A dead-line is a chronological
order of projects. According to us, this phase helps me a lot that how to
manage the work within the required time. Dead-line also help us and provide the
information of working of project. So by doing this phase we have learned a lot of
things regarding work management and also a time management.
