SMART Goals Template

Setting goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) means you’re more likely to accomplish them.

Uses of SMART Goals Templates

Setting goals the SMART way ensures you go into the process with clarity, purpose, and a set timeline. You can use this template to work on personal, professional, or workplace goals individually or in a group.

SMART stands for:

  • Specific: Your goal should be as specific as possible. Instead of saying “get more followers,” try something concrete like “get 500 new followers by June 2023.”
  • Measurable: How will you measure or know when or if you’ve accomplished this goal?
  • Achievable: What actions can you take to help reach this goal?
  • Relevant: Why are you setting this goal?
  • Time-bound: What’s the timeline/deadline for reaching this goal?

How to create your SMART Goals Template

1

Open the SMART goals template in Cacoo.

2

Determine the scope of your goals. Are they personal, project-based, company-wide?

3

Make your way through the columns one by one by adding sticky notes. If you’re working in a group, set a timer for each column so everyone has enough time to add their notes. Then, talk through everyone’s notes before moving to the next column.

4

Once you’ve completed the template and prioritized the goals you’ll work on, plan how you'll achieve them by assigning responsibilities and setting timelines.
