Step 1
Specific
What exactly will change? Who is involved? What does done look like in plain language?

How the framework works
Each column is a stage. Capture cards as you talk, then leave with a visible next step.
Step 2
Measurable
Which signal or metric proves progress? How will you know you arrived?
Step 3
Achievable
Is this realistic with current skills, time, and resources — or what must change first?
Step 4
Relevant
Why does this matter now for the person, team, or organization?
Step 5
Time-bound
What is the deadline, and what happens at the midpoint check?
How to facilitate
Write one goal at a time
Filling all five columns for three goals at once creates fog. Finish one goal, then duplicate the board if needed.
Separate wish from plan
If Specific and Measurable stay vague, pause before debating deadlines.
Name the constraint honestly
Achievable fails when politics or capacity are unspoken. Put blockers on cards.
Schedule the review
A SMART goal without a review date becomes wallpaper. Add the check-in to Commitments or calendar immediately.
When to use it
- Quarterly goal setting for individuals or small teams
- Coaching sessions after a GROW conversation clarified direction
- OKR drafting warm-ups before locking key results
- Personal development plans that need accountability
Ready to run it live?
Open the board, share the link, and facilitate from the columns — no setup workshop required.
FAQ
What does SMART stand for?
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Some teams extend it to SMARTER with Evaluate and Review.
Can a team use this together?
Yes. Shared columns help the group pressure-test whether a goal is clear and realistic before committing.
How is this different from a doc template?
A live board lets people add and refine cards together, then leave with a shared link instead of a static worksheet.
