SMART Criteria
- (S)pecific - Great goals are well-defined and focused. They include a clear statement of things like what should be accomplished, why it’s important, who is involved, what resources are needed.
- (M)easurable - Clear metrics help with motivation, staying focused and meeting deadlines. Measures can include things like how many, how much, and measures of completion.
- (A)chievable - Goals should be realistic and achievable while providing an element to stretch beyond one’s current abilities. This includes specifics such as how the goal will be accomplished and factor in known constraints and unplanned obstacles.
- (R)elevant - The goal needs to matter to the individual and connect to team and organizational goals. It needs to offer value at the right time, in the right place, for the right reasons, and by the right person or group.
- (T)ime-bound - Setting specific targets helps prevent everyday distractions from taking priority over longer-term goals. This includes setting milestones of iterative accomplishments toward the longer-term goal.
