SMART criteria

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.

The first-known use of the term occurs in the November 1981 issue of Management Review by George T. History[edit] The November 1981 issue of Management Review contained a paper by George T. Current definitions[edit] Each letter in SMART refers to a different criterion for judging objectives. Choosing certain combinations of these labels can cause duplication, such as selecting 'attainable' and 'realistic', or can cause significant overlapping as in combining 'appropriate' and 'relevant'. Additional criteria[edit] Some authors have added additional letters giving additional criteria. Alternative acronyms[edit] See also[edit] References[edit]
