Many variations of the SMART goal framework that have been proposed over the years. Some of the most common variations include:
SMARTER: This variation includes an additional "E" for "Evaluated" and an "R" for "Reviewed." This emphasizes the importance of regularly reviewing and evaluating progress towards a goal, and making adjustments as needed.
SMART+: This variation includes an additional "+" for "Plus," which stands for "Personal, Positive, and Progressive." This emphasizes the importance of setting goals that are personally meaningful, positive, and progressive.
SMARTER+: This variation combines elements of both SMARTER and SMART+.
SMARTA: This variation adds an "A" for "Adjusted." This emphasizes the importance of adjusting goals based on feedback, progress, and new information.
SMARTER-P: This variation adds an "P" for "Participative" This emphasizes the importance of involving other people in the goal-setting process.
These variations of the SMART goal framework are all designed to help individuals and organizations set and achieve clear, measurable, and meaningful goals. However, the basic structure of SMART goals remains the same, and the acronym can be adapted to suit the specific needs of an individual or organization.
