No. Not IBM :-) And neither it's the evil empire nor the source of all energy.

But the SMART abbreviation might come from something like that, don't know.

I first heard this acronym on international project management course. There ti was defined somewhat different: Specific and clearly defined by the client Measurable Achievable Result Oriented Time Related Back there, words without additional description where enough to describe what each of objectives mean. They where guidelines. Than again, this was project management course and there where people from HR deparment on that course also. Guidelines should help and not become measurement tool. 2share!2flame...	[reply]
