Abstract

illustration of Smart goals.

This article will cast a light on a management tool which is called SMART. SMART is a tool used by managers. To make their goals realistic and achievable. SMART - Goals is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. [1]

All five different points are the most critical parameters that you must consider when starting a project. SMART goals help stay focused and motivated with a clear guideline and small milestones. However, reservations for the tool may be different from project to project. Since everything that is achievable, e.g. is not measurable.

SMART goals are not only for business but also in one's personal everyday life if one has set oneself a goal that must be achievable within a given time. Such as learning a new language, losing a few pounds or something completely third. This article will explore how you can use the "SMART – Goals" tool and how it can help your project.

What does SMART stand for?

A smart model is a business tool used by project managers. The model is made up of 5 questions that must reflect one's goal.

S - Specific

The first question is: Specifically, where one's goals are specified about what exactly one wants to achieve. It can, e.g. be one will be the best engineer in the company within a particular subject. It is essential that you are very specific with your goal, so it is not enough to say you want to be good at cooking. For that definition is individual and not something you can hold up against anything.

M - Measurable

Once the goal is specified, you can move onto the next question: Measurable, Here, you define when you are done. That is when one has achieved a specific goal. If you do not know when you are finished, then you will continue until you lie with your head down on the table, without any sense of when you are done. Without a goal or milestone, you are more likely to lack your work and requirements, to say you are finished. The most important thing is to set up some measurable criteria, even if it is personal.
