Effective projects start with an exit strategy, in turn becoming the basis for the project objective, a description of the end result…
Criteria for Practical Objectives:
Definition of basic purpose, Timed, Measurable, Worthwhile, Achievable, Compatible, Agreed, Communicated clearly, Reviewed regularly...
Example Objective:
As a result of implementing the plan, the following will have happened:

- Profits grown by 11%,
