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 · TEXT

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 · TEXT

Is the argument clear?

Is there a logical flow to the article?

Does one part build upon the other?

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

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

What would you suggest to improve?

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.
