Measurable

What must be completed to consider this task done or an indicator of progress. What metrics need to be used.


Achievable

Is it possible to accomplish the task and what tools, skills or other resources are needed and available. Helps to increase motivation.

Tasks should reflect broader context like is it worthwhile, is it the right time or does it match our other efforts. Every task can be explained and justified.


Time-boxed

Task should be time-boxed (may not be formal estimate) in order to know when the task can be achieved or when to seek help or split in case it is not complete.
