Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Even with what you've described, smart can still apply. The goal that's set would be a specific, desired outcome, the who, what, where, when, and why of how you get there, is up to the best judgement of the team. It's measurable in the way of having some way to determine that the specific goal was achieved.

That's S and M, for A, achievable, I'm sure the team would let you know if a goal is not able to be reached. If they didn't think it can be done, they would not waste time trying.

Relevant is mostly irrelevant for the workers, that's more whether management decides it is relevant to the companies goals.

Time-based ... This is the part I'd have the most trouble with. It takes however long it takes. As long as nobody is dragging their ass, it shouldn't take any longer than it needs to, and putting a time constraint on it just puts undue pressure on the team for no good reason. As long as progress is steady and things are getting done, then time shouldn't really matter all that much.
