Understand the process required to define goals using Goal Framework.

Use the following steps as guidelines for defining your goals. Some of these steps require the sn_gf.strategy_planner role and some require the sn_gf.goal_user role. If you're an Goal Framework for SPM user, you need the sn_gf.goal_admin role to configure the target automation feature. All steps are the same for defining goals using either Goal Framework or Goal Framework for SPM.

1. Create a strategic plan to define the purpose - vision, mission, and values - of your organization. For more information, see [Create a strategic plan](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/otLI7TTkh~oqE6pZhL_tkw "As a strategy planner, you can create and manage strategic plans for your organization. Create a strategic plan to define the purpose of your organization, its strategic priorities, and the associated goals.").

   You can create strategic plans only when Strategic Planning is installed. Creating a strategic plan isn't required to define goals.
2. Create a strategic priority to orient your organization's strategic plan to your goal. For more information, see [Create a strategic
   priority](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/sowU7M9VjyiAtVhTmYBDWw "As a strategy planner, you can create and manage the strategic priorities for the strategic plans for your organization. Create a strategic priority to orient your organization strategic plan toward your goal.").
3. Create a goal. For more information, see [Create a
   goal](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BB2daTe0ilg8ASUgrx3chA "Create goals and set targets to measure overall goal progress and evaluate them to align with the organizational strategic priorities.").
4. Create targets for goals to track and measure the progress of the goals. For more information, see [Set targets for a goal using Goal Framework](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/EZE0tW3Fv9bzkl3YuWnI9w "Create SMART targets for goals to track and measure the progress of the goals.").
5. (For Goal Framework for SPM users only) Set targets for goals and configure the target sources for the targets to auto-update the actual value of the targets. After the progress of a target is updated, the target's progress is rolled up to its goal. For more information, see [Configuring target source for target automation using Goal Framework for SPM](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9pczAPHJYio4TgOO0pWh7Q "Configure target sources for target automation so that the goal user can define a target source when setting a target for the goal. Defining a target source for a target updates the actual value of the target automatically.") .
6. Create a goal or target relationship with a work or strategic item. For more information, see [Associate work or strategy with goals or targets](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ScM9RcQSh0fBajKB9wKnMw "Create a goal or target relationship with a work, planning, strategic, or any other item to identify and associate your current or future work and achieve your goals and targets.").
7. Set a goal or target as primary for the work and planning items where the items contribute to achieving the goal. For more information, see [Associating the primary goal or target for work and planning items](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/eXWcQYpD3gXCd5ZczSdBfQ "You can associate a goal or target as the primary for the work and planning items where the items contribute to achieving the goal or target. You need different roles to set a goal or target as the primary for work and planning items.").
