Goal owner & cycle
Who owns it
Which quarter / cycle
SSpecific— What exactly will change, and who is doing it?
Name the thing, not the theme. “Cut onboarding time” beats “improve onboarding”.
MMeasurable— What number tells you it happened? From what, to what?
Write both ends. A target with no starting point can’t be scored.
AAchievable— What makes this possible — capacity, budget, who is free?
If nothing has to change for this to happen, it’s probably not a goal.
RRelevant— Which company goal does this move, and how?
If you can’t name the bigger goal it serves, park it.
TTime-bound— By when — and when will you check in on the way there?
A deadline with no check-ins is a surprise waiting at the end of the quarter.
Write the finished goal as one sentence
