SMART goals and action plans

When we plan with someone we are making a promise to change their life. This means that the plan itself is not the outcome; the outcome is supporting someone to live life on their own terms.

To turn plans into outcomes, all planning should result in SMART objectives and action plans that state who will do what and by when. SMART stands for:

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Attainable
  • Relevant
  • Time-based
