Attainable
The third term stresses the importance of goals that are realistic and attainable. While an attainable goal may stretch a team in order to achieve it, the goal is not extreme. That is, the goals are neither out of reach nor below standard performance, as these may be considered meaningless. When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. The theory states that an attainable goal may cause goal-setters to identify previously overlooked opportunities to bring themselves closer to the achievement of their goals. An attainable goal will usually answer the question:
How: How can the goal be accomplished?
Relevant
The fourth term stresses the importance of choosing goals that matter. A Bank Manager's goal to "Make 50 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by 2:00pm." may be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, and Time-Bound, but lacks Relevance. Many times you will need support to accomplish a goal: resources, a champion voice, someone to knock down obstacles. Goals that are relevant to your boss, your team, your organization will receive that needed support. Relevant goals (when met) drive the team, department, and organization forward. A goal that supports or is in alignment with other goals would be considered a relevant goal. A relevant goal can answer yes to these questions:
Does this seem worthwhile?
Is this the right time?
Does this match our other efforts/needs?
Are you the right person?
Time-bound
The fifth term stresses the importance of grounding goals within a time frame, giving them a target date. A commitment to a deadline helps a team focus their efforts on completion of the goal on or before the due date. This part of the S.M.A.R.T. goal criteria is intended to prevent goals from being overtaken by the day-to-day crises that invariably arise in an organization. A time-bound goal is intended to establish a sense of urgency. A time-bound goal will usually answer the question:
When?
What can I do 6 months from now?
What can I do 6 weeks from now?
What can I do today?
FOLLOW-ON QUESTIONS…
Define the process of Project Management.
How is it linked to SMART business objectives? Why do projects generally fail?
Which are the basic steps of Project Management?
What other ways are there of building strong teams (e.g. frequent meeting)?
What types of personality and what skills do you think people need to have to work in the oil/gas industry in remote and isolated locations?

ISSUE
Advertising agencies are often viewed as nests of creativity, where artistic ideas are converted into business successes. AdLib, a six-person partnership plus associates and 20 employees) have been associated with many advertising campaigns for a wide range of products and services. Recently, however, they have begun to lose their edge. One project for a key client went over budget, another was delivered late. There have also been internal working problems in some of the project teams. The agency needs to reappraise its project management methods to ensure that creative endeavor is matched by organizational requirements. A meeting has been called to discuss the key aspects of project management.
