SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. SMART goals are used to help individuals or teams set clear and achievable objectives. Here’s how you can create SMART goals:
- Specific: Define your goal as clearly as possible. It should answer the five “W” questions: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
- Measurable: Identify how you will measure your progress towards achieving your goal. This can be done by setting specific metrics.
- Achievable: Ensure that your goal is realistic and attainable. Consider the resources and time required to achieve the goal, as well as any potential roadblocks or challenges that may arise.
- Relevant: Make sure your goal is relevant to your personal or organisational objectives. It should align with your mission, vision, and values.
- Time-bound: Set a deadline for achieving your goal. This will help you stay focused and motivated, and give you a clear timeframe to work towards.
By following the SMART framework, you can create goals that are clear, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, increasing your chances of success.
