It appears there is a misunderstanding regarding S.M.A.R.T.

For a considerable period, I was unaware of an inaccuracy in my understanding of the S.M.A.R.T. methodology, which is designed to enhance task performance. The most common interpretation of this term is "specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound."

However, it has come to my attention that the author of Doran's methodology, as outlined in his article entitled "There's a S.M.A.R.T. way to write management's goals and objectives," employed a distinct decoding method. The primary distinction lies in the inclusion of the letter A, which stands for "assignable." This implies that a specific task must have a designated responsible individual. This fundamental change in the matter is not comparable to the current Achievable, which is defined as the task's achievability.
