S.M.A.R.T Framework for setting goals
SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. It's a framework used to create effective goals that are clear and actionable. Here's a breakdown of each element:
-
Specific: A goal should be clear and unambiguous. It should answer the questions "what" and "why" and provide a clear description of what needs to be achieved.
-
Measurable: A goal should have a specific metric or indicator that can be used to track progress and measure success. This provides a way to evaluate whether the goal has been achieved or not.
-
Achievable: A goal should be challenging but still realistic and attainable. It should take into account available resources, skills, and timeframes.
-
Relevant: A goal should be relevant and aligned with the overall objectives and priorities of the organization or individual. It should contribute to larger goals and support the broader vision.
-
Time-bound: A goal should have a specific deadline or timeframe for completion. This provides a sense of urgency and accountability, and helps to keep the focus on progress.
By using the SMART framework, goals can be created that are clear, achievable, and measurable, providing a roadmap for success.
