Uitvoerdoelen

Uitvoerdoelen, often translated as performance goals or output objectives, are specific, measurable targets that define the desired results of an activity or project. They are distinct from outcome goals, which focus on the broader impact or change achieved, and instead concentrate on the tangible deliverables or actions that will be completed. In essence, uitvoerdoelen answer the question "What will be produced or done?".

These goals are crucial for project management and performance evaluation because they provide clear benchmarks for success. By setting well-defined uitvoerdoelen, teams can track progress, allocate resources effectively, and ensure that the work being done directly contributes to the overall objectives. Examples of uitvoerdoelen might include completing a certain number of tasks, delivering a specific product feature by a deadline, or achieving a particular volume of sales within a given period. They are typically characterized by their specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance, and time-bound nature (SMART criteria). The successful attainment of uitvoerdoelen is often a prerequisite for achieving larger, more strategic outcome goals.
