SMART is a mnemonic acronym, giving criteria to guide in the setting of objectives, for example in project management, employee-performance management and personal development. Ideally speaking, each corporate, department, and section objective should be: Specific – target a specific area for improvement; Measurable – quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress; Agreed upon – specify who will do it; Realistic – state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources; Time-related – specify when the result(s) can be achieved.
