What it takes to be SMART!

What it takes to be SMART!

I challenge anyone to find and add more appropriate words to the SMART acronym! Personally I quite like smart as it seems almost applicable anywhere, e.g.

- Agreements
- Contracts
- Project management plans
- Strategic business plans
- Law
- Procedures
- Work instructions
- Role descriptions
- Research
- Holiday trips

S:

Specific
Significant

M:

Measurable
Monitor-able
Manageable

A:

Agreed
Achievable
Attainable
Aligned
Acceptable
Accountable
Adaptable (of course under the correct change management process)
Audience (written or constructed for the right type of audience)
Applicable
Assignable

R:

Realistic
Relevant
Respectful
Responsible
Reviewable

T:

Timely
Transparent
Truthful

Mmmmm....

And what about:

Balanced
Extensible

Again, this is a short article and I hope that with your feedback we can add some more detail to it.

Nanoo... Nanoo...
