	I am not sure that it is worth to detail the calculation process with table 3 and the equations. If I were you I would rather explain in details the process and the interpretation of the results, than the actual equations. But, it is again a matter of taste. If you would use this mode, I would suggest to put somewhere a list of parameters/ abbreviations.		I am not sure that it is worth to detail the calculation process with table 3 and the equations.

	The grammar is good and academic, however I would rather write instead of shouldn´t and can´t the should not and can not versions. It appears around 3 times in the article, so it is a minor issue.

			:: ''I have made those changes. Thanks, it is better written like that.''

	The logical flow is good and really great within the section. It was good to read and the parts are build up on each other. I also liked that you refer to the different section within the article. Also, that you refer to the figure is a great point.		The logical flow is good and really great within the section. It was good to read and the parts are build up on each other.

	The cite and acknowledgement is precise and appropriate I would mention also that I like the links in the text in some cases. In addition, use “…” for the quotes.

	Really good in general, I also liked the quotes and that you refer to the figure. However, I would write the second quote with my own words and just refer to the figure and literature. I guess this 2 big quotes are too close to each other. But it is a matter of taste I would say.		Really good in general, I also liked the quotes and that you refer to the figure.

			:: ''I understand your point of view. However, the second quote of the PMI's PMBOK® Guide really reflects what I want to show, so I prefer to leave it with the exact words that they use.''

	Also the part where you talk about Judgment of experts, analytical techniques, etc is really good and logical. It would be more visible with bold letters… to make it more structured and followable.

	For table 1: maybe write some words about the techniques in general, or pick one why it is better than the other, or an example with some of them.

			:: '' It is not the purpose of the article to explain the different techniques of Schedule Control, but to show the general purpose.
