Set S.M.A.R.T. Goals

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time‑bound. When used well, S.M.A.R.T. goals propel action and reduce ambiguity.

Why S.M.A.R.T. Matters

S.M.A.R.T. goals transform vague intention into concrete reality. They reduce confusion, improve tracking, and keep teams aligned on what truly matters.

What Does Each Letter Mean?

  • Specific: Clearly defined outcome—no ambiguity.
  • Measurable: Quantifiable progress measurement.
  • Achievable: Realistic given resources and context.
  • Relevant: Directly supports strategy or mission.
  • Time‑bound: Defined deadline or review cycle.
