Anna: I don't have a lot to say about your abstract. It is a very good choice of topic and you have managed to focus on a specific method. The overall structure seems good also, so I believe this could be a very interesting and useful article when completed.


Note from the author - the response will be provided as red text:

  • The article is well written, its reading is fluent and really engaging. Its structure follows perfectly what it is requested by the assignment.
Thank you for the response. I went through the article once again and I've changed small mistakes to make it even more consistent
  • Images are exhaustive , they give the reader a quick understanding of the topic;
Thank you, it's really nice to hear that drawing all of them carefully made sense
  • External links to other pages of Wikipedia are a good idea, they make the article understanding easier;
As you mentioned, they help people to understand the content better. However, I re-linked some of them to connect to DTU MAN Wiki
  • References are punctual and from reliable sources;
References are now described and a follow-up material has been provided
  • The only deficiency of this article is in “Use Limitations” section; while situations in which this method can be applied are well treated along the article , use limitations of CPM are not as comprehensive as it is the whole article.
Advantages and use limitations section has been rewrited and converted to bullet points. Moreover, use limitations has been extended as deeper analysis of materials has been performed

[edit] (Review 2, S145166)

[edit] Format

  • Very good abstract summarising article. Follows 'methods' article structure well
I really wanted to fit into the category of method description. However, please find additional follow-up material in annotated bibliography leading to a case-study
  • Good use of graphics
Thank you, it's really nice to hear that drawing all of them carefully made sense
  • some small grammar errors - read through again
I went through the article and repaired some of grammar mistakes. Thank you for the advice.
  • referencing error in 5. method advantages
Reference error repaired

[edit] Content

  • Add an annotated bibliography
Annotated bibliography with references and follow-up section added
  • Could include further discussion or just suggested reading about CPM computer programs mentioned
I've added a section in general information, point 1.4 where I present some software and link to their pages. I decided not to put it in further readings 
because to my mind they hardly fit there. I'd love to cover topic about the software thoroughly, but since this article treats about the method itself, it was hard to describe 
the software more than by giving it a quick overview
  • Could be more critical or add more detail to limitations. maybe compare to alternative methods
Advantages and use limitations section has been rewrited and converted to bullet points. Moreover, use limitations has been extended as deeper analysis of materials has been performed. 
In some aspects of the limitation (duration estimations) comparison to PERT was addded as well as link to its wiki page
  • I think you should reference to APPPM wiki articles over “real wiki” articles. eg. PERT
I re-linked some of the links to DTU MAN Wiki pages. Great idea!
