Specific (and strategic): specific behavioural statements of change for you (or your client) Measurable: the success toward meeting the goal can be measured. Achievable: goals are realistic and can be achieved in a specific amount of time and are reasonable. Realistic (results oriented): the goals are aligned with current tasks and projects and focus in one defined area; include the expected result. Time framed: goals have a clearly defined time-frame including a target or deadline date. Not a smart goal: employee will improve their writing skills.
