Talk:Project scope statement
Contents |
Abstract Feedback
Text clarity Text is coherent
Language Good
Description of the tool/theory/concept Good, but I wouldn't say scope management is a tool. It's an output of scope planning and input to scope definition (look at chapter 5 in PMBOK). Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is an example of a tool in scope definition
Purpose explanation Well addressed
References Good
Relevance of article Very relevant. I would keep in mind the following:
- Consider combining WBS with scope statement if it makes sense in the article
- Consider exploring the relationship between scope statement and scope creep if it makes sense in the article

Question 1 · TEXT
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
Well delivered summary. Gives you a feeling for the content of the article. Minor grammatic errors, “This statement of work documents ?also? the responsabilities…”
Question 2 · TEXT

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
There is a good flow to the article. I feel that in the subchapter “The scope planning process” you could make bullets or try to separate somehow the sentences of the different techniques you explain. Otherwise it is fine and in the right direction.

See answer 3. Just some minor changes to the layout would do this article only good.

Is the article interesting for a practitioner or academic to read?
Does it make a significant contribution beyond a cursory web search?
What would you suggest to improve?
Answer 6
It helps understanding the process of the project scope statement. Article is still unfinished, and it will be interesting to read the missing chapters of the guidelines and limitations. Since it has not been completed it is difficult to review the article as one whole, but it seems to be good work so far.
Question 7 · TEXT
Annotated bibliography:
Does the article properly cite and acknowledge previous work?
Does it briefly summarize the key references at the end of the article?
Is it based on empirical data instead of opinion?
What would you suggest to improve?
Answer 7
Needs some work on the references, they are not completely according to standards of referencing. I don’t know if it is relevant to your article, but I see you are using a rather old edition of the PMBOK guide (1996). There are newer versions available that might be of some help to you. In the filesharing section of the course there is the reference material for this course. There you can find 2013 edition of the book.
