 Objective Be as specific as you can - what are you aiming to achieve?  | 
 Who’s responsible? Who owns this goal? Is anyone else supporting or involved?  | 
 Why does this matter? Why is this goal important for you, your team or the business?  | 
 What does success look like? What will a good outcome look like in practice? Include numbers if helpful.  | 
 How will progress be tracked? Think about how and what you’ll use to measure progress - maybe a shared doc, regular check-ins or reports.  | 
 Deadline or milestones  |

Once you've set your objectives, make sure they're stored somewhere secure and easy to access – ideally somewhere both you and the person working on them can refer back to.
Keeping goals visible helps build momentum, makes check-ins easier and ensures everyone’s on the same page.
