What to notice in the examples

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.
