Abstract Feedback

Text clarity Text is coherent, although this can be improved

Language Some spelling mistakes e.g. "technics" where it is meant "techniques"

Description of the tool/theory/concept Can be elaborated - e.g. what is a payment milestone?

Purpose explanation The abstract needs further elaboration - it is on the short side in terms of content

References Missing appropriate references to mandatory list of references

Relevance of article Consider the following:

  1. Explain the link between cash flow and payment milestones to Project Cost Management
  2. Who is the reader? Project Manager or Sponsor etc?
  3. Ensure depth of the article so it contributes to the project management community more than a normal web search

Question 1

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

Article is not finished and only includes a abstract and short introduction. Therefore, it is difficult to conclude if the abstract is good or not and to make suggestion on improvements.

Question 2

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

'Same answer as question 1. In addition, the introduction is well written with good contents in regard to the article's focus.

Question 3

Grammar and style:

Is the writing free of grammatical and spelling errors?

Is the language precise without unnecessary fill words?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 3

Good and precise written, with no significant errors.

Question 4

Figures and tables:

Are figures and tables clear?

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

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 4

The two figures are very good where they are easy to understand and are relevant to the text. Remember that the professor said you can't copy-paste figures from a webpage etc., but that we had to make our own based on the figures.

Question 5

Interest and relevance:

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

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

This article is of relevance more towards a practical relevance. One improvement could maybe be to specify directly how this article relate to project, program and/or portfolio management in one sentence.

Annotated bibliography:

Does it briefly summarize the key references at the end of the article?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 7

The sources seems reliable. One of the sources refers to empirical data from Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s in 2015. Note: One of the sources are not correctly cited in text as the others.
