SMART Goals Definitions – Rounded Diamonds

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide presents the SMART goals framework using rounded diamond graphics. The acronym SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely—criteria for setting goals effectively. Each term of the acronym is associated with a colored diamond icon and space beneath for custom text: Specific is linked to a blue diamond with a target icon, Measurable to a purple diamond with a ruler, Achievable to a green diamond with a checkmark, Relevant to an orange diamond with overlapping circles, and Timely to another blue diamond with a clock icon. Adjacent to each colored diamond are bullet point placeholders for further elaboration on each attribute of the SMART criteria.
