A useful SMART goal names the result rather than only the activity, defines an observable measure or completion condition, fits the person’s actual control and resources, connects to a meaningful objective, and includes a realistic review or completion date.
- Specific result: what will change, be delivered, or be completed.
- Measure: how progress or completion will be recognized.
- Feasibility: resources, authority, dependencies, and scope.
- Relevance and time: why the goal matters and by when it will be reviewed or completed.
