SMART goal
A SMART goal is formulated using criteria of specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance and timeframe
What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.
What it is and how it works
It helps turn an intention into a result that can be evaluated. For example, reducing the time a task takes requires defining the process, the indicator, the expected level and the date. The formulation should prevent meeting one metric from damaging other important results.
