Time-bound

The fifth criterion stresses the importance of setting deadlines. A commitment to a deadline helps a team focus their efforts on completion of the objective on or before the due date.

A time-bound goal will usually answer the questions:

  1. When? What can I accomplish within a specific time frame?
  2. When must the objective be complete in order to complete the Goal on time?

You have done a great job here Bill. You have taken what is often used in one post and broken it into 9 digestible modules. MBO is supplemented by updated leadership and management ideas and by Steven Covey's 7 Habits. Great post.
