Making Rocks SMART
Add some details to the description of your Rock to make them SMART and add Milestones to track progress.
Table of Contents
When building your Rock, you want to be as detailed as possible so that expectations are clear. To do that, we recommend you make your Rocks SMART and add Milestones.
Milestones
Milestones break down your Rocks into smaller pieces with actionable due dates that can be delegated to others. To add Milestones, you must turn that on in Settings > Configuration.
- Choose a Rock
- Click + next to Milestone to create one
- Assign it, give it a title, description, and due date
The information below shows you how to edit an already-created milestone.
Milestones into To-Dos
- Once created, your Milestones automatically become To-Dos seven days before they are due if they are not already done.
- You can also turn them into To-Dos at any point by clicking on the to-do icon.
- To-Dos created out of Milestones are connected. if you check off a To-Do as done, it automatically completes the Milestone (and vice versa).
SMART
When creating your Rocks, you should also make them SMART. You can copy and paste the questions below into your Rock to answer there.
- Specific - What specifically will you achieve?
- Measurable - How will I measure completion?
- Achievable - Is it achievable by me or my team now? List who.
- Relevant - How relevant is it to our vision and our goals?
- Timely - What are key dates, and what is the final date?
Timely will most likely be answered in your milestones section, but it is good to note that or add additional details.
