So far there is a flow to the article, though the argument isn’t clear just yet. The background builds on the abstract, which is good. I would just suggest some more text about the specific use of KPI’s In project management.

There are examples of the use of KPI, but the article should go deeper into how a project manager can use this.

At the moment the article is very shallow, and undone. But I guess there will be more to the anatomy of KPI + application of KPI (in project management) and limitations of it.

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?

[edit] Answer 1

The summary is and shows what you are tending to write about. The key focus is mentioned. This sentence "Key Performance Indicators are yet to be discovered by the construction industry". Do they not have KPI indicators at all in construction field? And also what kind of construction or is it overall? Where is there reference for this? Also there are some type/grammer/spelling errors somewhere inbetween. But all in all it is a good abstract and shows what you are going to write about, but which part of Project, program or portfolio management are you going to focus on? This is not stated

[edit] Question 2 · TEXT

Structure and logic of the article:

[edit] Answer 2

As the article is not finished yet it is hard to evaluate. But the flow until now is okay. But the substance in the article has not been mentioned yet and therefor it is hard to evaluate if there is a flow. Only the background and a few bullet points are mentioned

There is only one reference. There will have to be more references and the one reference which is cited is referenced nicely.
