Talk:Critical Path Method in Construction Industry

Revision as of 19:04, 27 September 2015

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:

This is how sample response will look like

Feedback from s150821 (reviewer 3)

• 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.

(Review 2, S145166)

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

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

• Could be more critical or add more detail to limitations. maybe compare to alternative methods

• 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!

In general I like the topic and I read it nicely, the structure seems good . Something is missing around the article but I think you are on a good way. Good job! Structure

• Summary is written in a good and understandable way, I like it.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

• The figure are appropried with the topics

Thank you. Looks like working on them additional hours was worth it

• Remember to add the sources to the figures.

Since I have prepared all of the figures myself I cannot reference to any source. I will, however, add source where I based my graphics on source figures.

Contents

• I think that the short history part is a good way to start , it is very concise and understandable

Thank you. To read more about history and read about first feedback from construction industry check out the first reference - it is a really good article.

• Try to explain bettter the example of CPM graph creation

I have added some additional description to points 2.2.1-2.2.4. I hope that now all of the calculations as well as final creation of the graph will be clear.

• The flow of the article is linear and logical without any problem to understand the topics.

Thank you very much - I am really glad that the article is easy to read

• Remember to add some brief summary to the bibliography

Annotated bibliography with references and follow-up section added

• Maybe you should improve the limitations and method advantagess, with some sentences explaining a bit more than the bullet points .
