1. Project Objective and Scope Objective

The objective of the project should "clearly stated" and contain a "measure" of how to assess whether they have been achieved. It should be realistic and include the objectives. It should follow the SMART protocol:

Specific (get into the details)

Measurable (use quantitative language so that you know when you are finished)

Acceptable (to stakeholders)

Realistic (given project constraints)

Time based (deadlines, not durations)

Example 3: The objective of this project is to implement a campus store that is ready to sell computer supplies such as memory sticks, mouse pads, cables, etc. when class starts in Fall 2019, with enough inventory to last through the first two weeks of classes.
