What are SMART Goals?

Setting SMART goals is the first step of continuous performance management. The SMART

methodology helps you to construct clearly defined goals using five attributes:

Specific: This goal covers one clearly-defined area that’s direct and easy to understand.

Measurable: The goal has measurable outcomes that indicate when you’ve achieved the goal.

Achievable: The goal is challenging but realistically achievable for your skills, resources and capabilities.

Relevant: The goal supports the broader needs of the ward, department and organization.

Timely: There’s a clear due date by when the goal needs to be achieved.

Tips for writing SMART Objectives

Specific

• Define what you expect

• Determine who will do it

• Detail accountability

• Use action verbs, expressing physical or mental action, as much as possible

• Provide enough detail – this depends on the objective but should be enough

to be clear

Measurable

• Identify how you will know objective was accomplished – usually this

means quantity but can also be quality (for instance, “80% of participants

agree or strongly agree on the feedback form”)

Attainable

• Make sure you have the time, manpower, resources, and authority to

accomplish the objective

• Consider if there may be factors beyond your control

Relevant

• The objective helps you meet the purpose of the grant

• The objective is aligned with the Community Readiness Assessment scores
