I think this is very important for business/self-innovation. If you can do everything before appling S.M.A.R.T

Terms behind the letters

There is no clear consensus about precisely what the five keywords mean, or even what they are in any given situation. Typically accepted values are:

Letter Major Term Minor Terms
S Specific Significant, Stretching, Simple
M Measurable Meaningful, Motivational, Manageable
A Attainable Appropriate, Achievable, Agreed, Assignable , Actionable, Action-oriented, Ambitious
R Relevant Realistic, Results/Results-focused/Results-oriented, Resourced, Rewarding
T Time-bound Time framed, Timed, Time-based, Timeboxed, Timely, Timebound, Time-Specific, Timetabled, Trackable, Tangible

Choosing certain combinations of these labels can cause duplication; such as selecting Attainable and Realistic; or can cause significant overlapping as in combining Measurable and Results; Appropriate and Relevant etc. Agreed is often used in management situations where buy-in from stakeholders is desirable.
