I do not remember myself talking about S.M.A.R.T criteria in personal
discussions to be honest :-) or if it ever happened, maybe it was
because it was mentioned in my platform and elsewhere. In fact,
S.M.A.R.T was used for Release Goals [1] and it has been also
mentioned by previous DPLs as well (although, I failed to find a
reference for that, for now).

But anyways... I am not particularly fond of S.M.A.R.T criteria but
I do recognize their value when it comes to defining goals and finding
ways to measure their progress. It is good a tool that helps us to
evaluate a goal by forcing us to think about five specific and simple
points.

In general, I have followed the same methodology for all subjects
I've worked on during my DPL term: I have installed a kanboard [2]
instance on my server ; created a project (let's call it DPL) and
created tasks for every subject. Depending on the nature of subject,
I added sub-tasks sometimes. Comments were also used to track the
progress of the task.
