Abstract Feedback

Text clarity The text sounds coherent

Language Can be improved. I did not understand this for example: "Project manager and team with structure, processes, models and tools represent the core from which the project grows."

Description of the tool/theory/concept OK

Purpose explanation Missing - What is the purpose of the article? What aspect of project management are you trying to address? Who is your reader? Are you focusing on a particular industry e.g. construction? How is this relevant for the project manager?

Title of the Wiki Can be more specific - this depends on the focus of your article

References Good reference to PMBOK. Be cautious when addressing websites. I would never reference blogs. Use the PMI (Project Management Institute) site instead for example.

General Remember when writing the article, that it needs to be in the right depth and not too generic

Question 1 · TEXT

Quality of the summary:

Does the summary make the key focus, insights and/or contribution of the article clear?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 1

The abstract presents with sufficient clarity the key points of the article. Moreover, it clearly defines the reader audience of the article. The field of application is a bit generic.

Suggestion: Focus on a particular industrial sector for your analysis.

Question 2 · TEXT

Structure and logic of the article:

Is the argument clear?

Is there a logical flow to the article?

Does one part build upon the other?

Is the article consistent in its argument and free of contradictions?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 2

To begin with, the argument is quite unambiguous. Furthermore, the article is characterised by a logical flow so far. Specifically, it begins with the cite of the definitions that are associated with the topic and continues with mentioning the importance of the specific model. Consequently, an extensive description of the different kinds of team structures is presented. You skipped the selection of a particular project team structure that will be analyzed. Moreover, a decent sequence can be observed among the individual parts. Finally, the article is really consistent in its arguments and free of contradictions.

Suggestion: Choose a specific project team structure through which you can analyze the particular roles and responsibilities.

Question 1 · TEXT

'Quality of the summary: Does the summary make the key focus, insights and/or contribution of the article clear? What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 1

The summary gives a good impression of what the article is about. States well the differences between roles and responsibilities. Furthermore, it includes the PMBOK process groups, and relates it to people perspective. Lacks, description of what to expect from article. Should be provided when finalising article.

Question 2 · TEXT

Structure and logic of the article:

Is the argument clear?

Is there a logical flow to the article?

Does one part build upon the other?

Is the article consistent in its argument and free of contradictions?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 2

The structure and logic of the article is good and coherent. The flow is natural, and it provides the information that is expected. I like that it is referred to the standards instantly, meaning that the reader has a clear understanding of what the differences of roles and responsibilities are. The bullet point are giving clear information and the "project team structure" gives a good overview of what to consider of the team. A suggestion is maybe that there are statements that require reference, depends on which referencing-style that is followed.

Grammatically good. Language is coherent and easy to understand.

Question 4 · TEXT

Figures and tables:

Are figures and tables clear?

Do they summarize the key points of the article in a meaningful way?

No figures or table used. Could be interesting if done, makes it easier and more exciting to read. A suggested figure would be to see the structure of the roles and responsibilities, maybe in a branch-chart.

Is the article of high practical and / or academic relevance?

Is it made clear in the article why / how it is relevant?
