After your results analysis section, your SMART goal area will be comprised of a goal statement (that includes all five criteria) in 1 sentence followed by the tasks it will take along with a timeline to accomplish that goal. You are to make a minimum of two goals. Make sure your SMART goals are goals and not tasks. Answer the question make sure they are specific, measureable, and time bound. So make sure you write in your goal statement how you will measure it and the date it will be completed.

As you are planning and writing your goals, ask yourself:

Was I specific enough, will others know exactly what I mean is it too vague? For example, what does multiple times or a great deal of visibility mean, exactly?

Is it even possible to measure this? How will you know if you completed your goal or are on track to reach it? The measurement portion tends to be the most difficult. Brainstorm ways you can track your goals: creating your own bench mark tool, simple counts, manager evaluations and quarterly reviews, recording/tracking/measuring, completion of task list get creative find ways to hold yourself accountable. You may also attach your measurement tool (i.e. checklist) as an appendix).

Make sure there is a beginning and end date (may need to break into sub-goals if time is too great or are making incremental improvements)

Make sure you action plan is very detailed, has deadlines included, and clearly leads to completion of your stated goal.
