What Are SMART Goals?
SMART goals are structured target statements designed to replace vague intentions with clear, actionable outcomes. Under the Next Level SMART Goals Framework, every goal must meet five essential criteria:
- S — Specific (and Strategic): Clearly defines who, what, where, and when. Ensures goals are directly tied to high-level strategic commitments rather than generic activities.
- M — Measurable: Establishes uni-dimensional, objectively verifiable metrics so progress can be accurately tracked without ambiguity.
- A — Actionable (and Aligned): Focuses on results and outcomes of activities while ensuring direct alignment within the team’s manageable interest.
- R — Realistic: Verifies that expected results are achievable given available resources, staff, and critical operational assumptions.
- T — Time-Bound: Defines clear deadlines and specifies exact monitoring schedules to ensure consistent accountability.
