What are Project Objectives?

Project Objectives are the specific, measurable outcomes that the project is intended to achieve. They define what success looks like and help keep the project focused on its primary goals.

How to apply Project Objectives in Practice

  • Write clear, SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) objectives at the outset of the project.
  • Regularly review progress towards these objectives and adjust as necessary to stay on track.
Tip: Align the project objectives with broader company goals to ensure the project delivers business value.
