Professional development goals might be the remedy you need.\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SMART in SMART goals stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defining these parameters as they pertain to your goal helps ensure that your objectives are attainable within a certain time frame. This approach eliminates generalities and guesswork, sets a clear timeline, and makes it easier to track progress and identify missed milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example of a SMART-goal statement might look like this: <em>Our goal is to [quantifiable objective] by [timeframe or deadline]. [Key players or teams] will accomplish this goal by [what steps you\u2019ll take to achieve the goal]. Accomplishing this goal will [result or benefit].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to write SMART goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s use Jane&#8217;s objective to work through each component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">S: Specific<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order for a goal to be effective, it needs to be specific. A specific goal answers questions like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What needs to be accomplished?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who&#8217;s responsible for it?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What steps need to be taken to achieve it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thinking through these questions helps get to the heart of what you\u2019re aiming for. Here&#8217;s an example of a specific goal Jane might come up with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-atlassian-tip tip\"><h6 class=\"atlassian-tip--headline\">SPECIFIC<\/h6><div class=\"wp-block-atlassian-tip\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grow the number of monthly users of Techfirm\u2019s mobile app by optimizing our app-store listing and creating targeted social media campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">M: Measurable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specificity is a solid start, but quantifying your goals (that is, making sure they&#8217;re measurable) makes it easier to track progress and know when you\u2019ve reached the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane and her product team want to grow the number of their mobile app users \u2013 but by how much? If they get even one new signup, that\u2019s technically positive growth \u2013 so does that mean they\u2019re done? Same goes for their strategy \u2013 how many platforms will they advertise on?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make this SMART objective more impactful, Jane should incorporate measurable, trackable benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-atlassian-tip tip\"><h6 class=\"atlassian-tip--headline\">MEASURABLE<\/h6><div class=\"wp-block-atlassian-tip\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Increase the number of monthly users of Techfirm&#8217;s mobile app by 1,000 by optimizing our app-store listing and creating targeted social media campaigns for four social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A: Achievable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the point in the process when you give yourself a serious reality check. Goals should be realistic \u2013&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;pedestals from which you inevitably tumble. Ask yourself: is your objective something your team can reasonably accomplish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane might look at her goal and realize that, given her small team and their heavy workload, creating ad campaigns for four social platforms might be biting off more than they can chew. She decides to scale back to the three social networks where she&#8217;s most likely to find new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-atlassian-tip tip\"><h6 class=\"atlassian-tip--headline\">ACHIEVABLE<\/h6><div class=\"wp-block-atlassian-tip\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Increase the number of monthly users of Techfirm&#8217;s mobile app by 1,000 by optimizing our app-store listing and creating targeted social media campaigns&nbsp;for three social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safeguarding the achievability of your goal is much easier when you\u2019re the one setting it. However, that&#8217;s not always the case. When goals are handed down from elsewhere, make sure to communicate any restraints you may be working under. Even if you can\u2019t shift the end goal, at least you can make your position (and any potential roadblocks) known up-front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">R: Relevant<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rkv-feed-2 related-content wp-block-atlassian-related wp-block-rkv-feed is-sidebar\">\n\t    <div\nstyle=\"--card--border--color: #b7b9be; --card--border--width: 1px; --card--featured-media--desktop--aspect-ratio: 16\/9; --card--featured-media--tablet--aspect-ratio: 16\/9; --card--featured-media--mobile--aspect-ratio: 16\/9; --card--headline--desktop--font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--fs-1500); --card--headline--tablet--font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--fs-1500); --card--headline--mobile--font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--fs-1500); --card--description--desktop--font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--fs-1000); --card--description--tablet--font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--fs-1000); --card--description--mobile--font-size: var(--wp--preset--font-size--fs-1000);\" class=\"has-card-styles--borders has-card-styles--align--left has-featured-media-desktop--position--top has-featured-media-desktop--size--16-9 has-featured-media-tablet--position--top has-featured-media-tablet--size--16-9 has-featured-media-mobile--position--top has-featured-media-mobile--size--16-9 rkv-card is-type-post has-card-design-card\">\n<a class=\"rkv-card-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/blog\/teamwork\/how-to-set-short-term-goals\" aria-label=\"Don\u2019t underestimate the outsized impact of short-term goals\"><\/a>\n\n\t\t<figure class=\"rkv-card-column rkv-card-image featured-media\">\n\t\t<picture>\n\t\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/atlassianblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1209_atlassian-short-term-goals_1120x545@2x-300x146.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 1440px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/atlassianblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1209_atlassian-short-term-goals_1120x545@2x-300x146.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 375px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/atlassianblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1209_atlassian-short-term-goals_1120x545@2x-300x146.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 374px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"146\" src=\"https:\/\/atlassianblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1209_atlassian-short-term-goals_1120x545@2x-300x146.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><span class=\"rkv-icon content-type\" style=\"--icon--image:var(--icon--article)\"><\/span>\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<div class=\"rkv-card-column rkv-card-content\">\n\n\t\t\t<span class=\"eyebrow\" style=\"\">\t\t\t<span>Article<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span> in <\/span><span class=\"term-lozenges\"><a class=\"term-lozenge wp-element-button\" data-term=\"teamwork\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/blog\/search?topic[0]=teamwork\">Teamwork<\/a> <\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h2 class=\"rkv-card-title\" style=\"line-height: ; font-weight: ;\"\n\t\t\t>Don\u2019t underestimate the outsized impact of short-term goals<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\" \n\t\t\tstyle=\"line-height: ;font-weight: ;\"\t>If long-term goals are the destination, short-term goals are the roadmap.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s where you need to think about the big picture.
