• Is the goal related to competitive advantage?
    • Is the goal unambiguous?
    • Is the name unique?
    • Does the name reflect the intention of the goal?
    • Is the change value consistent with the change kind?
    • Is the change value consistent with the metric?
    • Is the change value measurable?
    • Is the change by date realistic yet ambitious?
    • Is it clear how the goal contributes to any higher level goals it supports?
    • Is it clear how any sub-goals contribute to the goal?
    • Is there at least one business use case that traces to the goal?
    • Does the goal conflict with any other goals?
    • Is the goal traced to other goals to which it may contribute?
    • Is the hierarchy of goals more than three-to-five levels deep? If less than three, you must verify whether these goals are concrete enough to be measurable. If more than five, you must consider flattening the hierarchy.
    • Is the hierarchy balanced? (Do different sub-trees at the same level in the hierarchy have similar depth?)
