General: Setting Goals

To set goals follow these simple 6 rules:

1. The goal must be part of a higher target; such as a corporate strategy.
2. The goal should not contradict with any other goal. A Project Governance Board is a perfect method to monitor goal & projects.
3. The goal should be written in a positive way. Try to avoid negative words.
4. The goal should be the helicopter-view with high-level sub goals.
5. The goal must be realistic but make sure that the bar is high.
6. Write the goal down and share with others!
