Talk:Portfolio Management in a Startup

Josef: Thank you, I like the idea for your article. I feel that for your article, you can either follow the "case study" or the "method" structure (as you could frame it from either perspective). Make it clear what is the particular challenge of startups. Also, some people may disagree that startups have a broad portfolio, instead one could argue that they typically focus on a single idea. So just state/explain what "type" of startup you are considering.

This review is done to the article accessed: 12:56 22/09/2015

Formal:

• I have found a chaotic position of plots and not proper size, but I have the impression you are still working on that.
• The size of the article is only 1300 words
• It is important to write the references.
• Punctuation mistakes: “failure, But”, B should not be capital letter.

Content:

• I see many interesting features of the article, but I miss some connexion, for instance I watched a video of Steve Jobs but no explanations of why it was there or your interpretation about what he said.
• There are chapters such as Project/Program Prioritisation and SCRUM in Product Development Startups which are not explained.
• I wonder how the selection and order of the topics is done. They are all very interesting but I do not see a clear link or flow in the article to jump from one topic to another.
• The chapter “Effects of not having a Portfolio Management strategy” is not target to startups. Do not know if you want to leave like it as something general or to explain it from a Startup perspective with some examples or explanations
• It is very interesting to include the organization but there is no mention of portfolio management in organization even though the main topic is Portfolio Management in a Startup.
• I would include a bit more topics and concepts from the slides given in class.
