Talk:Stakeholder Management Processes in Projects

Feedback on Abstract

Text clarity	Really good
Description of the tool/theory/concept	Stakeholder management is described but it is missing description of the specific process/method you are focusing on
Explanation of the purpose of the article	Really good
Relevance to curriculum	Good
References	References can be used in the beginning to back up the abstract (and don’t forget references for the images as well).
Other	Try to narrow down the focus. Perhaps choose a process/processes to do an in-depth description. Apart from that, good.

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

A comprehensive summary that is precise and not too long. It makes it clear for the reader what the topic is about and what the article will go in depth with, e.g. that 4 processes will be covered. There might be a paragraph or 2 that could be cut shorter.

Question 2 · TEXT

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

The different parts of the article are well connected. A good introduction which leads to the main content of the article which is the well rounded off. There are plenty of figures to support the information written in the article. Figure 1 seems like a bit of an overkill given what it represents, is it needed to show 20 stakeholders.

Question 3 · TEXT

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

Overall the grammar is fine, there are some grammatical errors and locations where future and past tense is interchanged, e.g. in the summary. Some places is written in a way that would be appropriate if spoken, however repeating something 3 times is not really for an article.

Question 4 · TEXT

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

As said there are plenty of figures to support the points being made which helps the reader. It is also clearly indicated where the figures have been inspired from and who has made them. Some figures/tables are very large, could easily be smaller, maybe rearranged to be positioned next to the text instead of blocking of text entirely.

Question 5 · TEXT

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?

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 5

The article is highly relevant when dealing with project, programs and portfolios. Without stakeholders or with negative stakeholders projects are in jeopardy. Some guidelines for a stakehold manager is also outlined.

Question 6 · TEXT

Depth of treatment:

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

For someone interested in management the article is interesting. Some of the article is very similar too what one can find with a simple web search, but most of it has been treated thoroughly through several well defined sources.

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

There are proper citations throughout the article as well as a good annotated bibliography which credits previous work.
