Multiple Choice

Which description best matches the 'Agreed' component of SMART?

The idea being tested is ensuring everyone involved buys into and signs off on the goal. The Agreed component means the goal is discussed and accepted by both the client and the practitioner, with clear understanding of who will do what and by when. This shared agreement creates commitment and sets concrete expectations, which helps prevent misunderstandings or scope changes later. It’s not about when the action will occur—that belongs to the timing element—nor about making the goal specific or easily measurable. By having the goal explicitly agreed, you lay a solid foundation for planning and delivering the skincare plan in a way that matches the client’s needs and the practitioner’s capabilities.
