Realistic goals will skyrocket your project to success
Unrealistic goals have a lot of setbacks and not good for any project better to identify them early
Unrealistic target is something that did not recognize the truth about the situation, especially the difficulties involve in a program or unrealistic is not realistic.
In appropriate to reality or fact
the target that seems may not real happen
Unrealistic targets will lead you to failure, yes be ambitious and be limited with realistic targets which will not disapoint your team and involved stakeholders.
Setting targets is vital. In my view, targets should follow the principle of SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time bound.
unrealistic targets are those project expectations or projections set in a project which may not achieved in reality. it could be targets that are beyond the project's budget line, or whose implementation may not be achieved due to lack of adequate inputs to action the project.
it is always good to set your targets above the current baseline and also put in place measures to realize that
I agree that the targets can be changed, which does not mean that the planning process was wrong. On the contrary, the expectations or the information collected may be more valid than at the beginning of the project, which may be in need to determine that a change of the target be made if necessary, which can help to achieve the impact we seek of the project or program.
From the unrealistic targets, you set the targets that you are not sure that they will be reached or achieved. This leads to disappointment appearance in team, funders, beneficiaries and partners. These are the targets that are above your control.
Are there particular examples to explain what makes a target unrealistic?
what could be the truth though?
If you set excessively unrealistic goals, you set yourself up for disappointment. ... Not reaching goals results in negative emotions: disappointment, frustration, and feeling like a failure. It also makes you more likely to quit, be even less healthy, and claim that your genetics make success impossible.
Discrepancy between project participants’ expectations is a rather common phenomenon, but what leads to such a situation? Here are some factors contributing to setting unrealistic expectations. 1.Lack of planning, 2. Inaccurate Estimations, 3. Poor communications, 4. Desire to please stakeholders,
Hello everybody I fell like this module is more important
Hello everybody I fell like this module is more important in the module because indicators need to be well elaborated to guide the rest of the M&E plan
The project a training of human development on new skills in construction sector was funded with the total amount of 230,000us dollars and it cost 10,000us dollars to train a participant on become an expert in the field. The project has targeted 1,500 individual to be trained and never consider the age of beneficiaries and also the sex. this become unrealistic target as the amount can not train the number of persons the project expect.

Unrealistic targets
Unrealistic targets have to identified and adjustments have to be made based on current context, scenarios.

You are right, you can always adjust unrealistic targets to suit your budget and other unforeseeable variables such as weather, the political environment, inflation etc. Deferring the start of the projects help coming up with realistic goals and good timing in order to achieve the set goals.

Really? I can't wait for 2030 to witness an age where HIV will be a thing of the past. However, can you please share with me some of the strategies that are being employed to achieve that goal?
I totally agree with you. I have learnt the importance of setting realistic targets and making sure that indicators are in line with the impact.
Targets are a ambitious commitments to reach certain results. However, even though targets are ambitious goals, they must be realistic, otherwise, the people who are involved in attaining such targets will end up disappointed, that includes: the person who set the targets, the whole team, and donors.
Unrealistic targets can distort the objective of project when you create target without knowing the reality of the data existing
Unrealistic targets it's a walking zombie in field by allowing those targets expect the project to die

Unrealistic targets can have a long-term consequence of projects and sometimes lead to project failure if targets are not adjusted. They may also lead to conflicting goals in individuals, low staff morale since staff may start feeling they are not achieving anything. This can in turn impact self-esteem, motivation and productivity thereby affecting project success.
A target is a specific level of planned result one hopes to achieve in a program or project. A target must take note of facts and data to be realistic. An unrealistic target is set of results that is unlikely to be achieved in that given time. This is because the target did not take note of previous results or facts in the planned implementation of the project.
I think unrealistic targets are targets which can not be adjusted if funding changes rather are hard to change if funding changes .
thank you so much and yet for now i have got to understand how to set a new target so we/I can achieve the intended results
Unrealistic target is a target which Can not be realizable in your project. But it Can be corrected by resetting some of the previous target and verify if you have sufficient ressources to achieve that target.

Planning for Monitoring and Evaluation in tourism
Searching for a baseline and collecting other data actually helps to make a better target I have learnt. It's like a foundation so strong that will never let you down
The are targets which are unattainable and cannot be met.
Global Social Entrepreneurship tourism in INDONESIA in shop creativity local
Sometimes setting unrealistic target Will to fail in achieving your goal. So let learn to set a realistic target that we can reach when implementing a our project. Thank you..
Target can be unrealistic when it is overly optimistic. When the targets are beyond actual expectations, the target set may be unrealistic.
Circumstances along in implementation can also render a target unrealistic.
Hello.... Enjoying the topic on targets.
These are targets that are extremely difficult to achieve.
This was a great module. I learnt a lot especially the part of researching before setting your targets.
Today i have learned the importance of baseline surveys and that targets can be adjusted everytime when things are not working our way.
Some target are unrealistic when it is to ambitious.
Reaching 100% of the target population of those who are HIV positive
It's will effect your project goal
Ambitions must be high, but within possible limits..

Unrealistic targets this are the targets that does not project the targets of the project, they are found reached but were not planned
For my project, we are setting a target to open 100,000 new bank accounts in the space of one year. After our market research, we saw this target to be unrealistic because of the present economic situation in Cameroon and the stigma some Cameroonians have about banks closing up and going away with their money, which is a common practice micro-financial institutions have done in the past. So, we decided to set a more realistic target at 95,000 new accounts.
Unrealistic Target simply refers project goals or targets that can not be achieved within a stipulation period during project execution.
The topic is really helpful. Most of the times we set targets which are ambitious but unrealistic. This topic has helped me alot
Unrealistic targets are that which self creates rather than analyzing existing one or without doing any research. This might be hard to achieve.
Unrealistic Targets
I understand that the targets must be ambitious and realistic by using data to get quantity and quality. Target must not been a tool measuring the feeling. Some examples for unrealistic targets are earn million of money within each month by doing small business,
We must great taking care to be realistic when we put targets in outcomes and impacts.
we will start our project on monday 04
I think it is very important to make such diiferent at least before stating to make targets
Setting targets need to be in a different ways for monitoring level and evaluation level. It is very important to set ambitious targets because it will make the team more motivated to reach high levels of success. Unrealistic targets are too ambitious yet not realistic.
Targets are unrealistic if there is no evidence that it can reach the target.but you know targets are set far beyond set depending on the baseline data .
Targets are unrealistic and unattainable if an organization has never performed at the target level or there is no evidence that it can reach the target. Usually the target has been set out of pure optimism or to impress the donors.
Some of the signs that your goals are unrealistic are:
There is no internal consensus around the validity of the target -so people may not be sure where the target came from.
The target is set far beyond a reasonable range based on past performance and baseline data.
The target was set by someone other than a subject matter expert.
Targets are unrealistic and unattainable if an organization has never performed at the target level or there is no evidence that it can reach the target.
it is always a good idea to keep your original targets if possible. In some cases, however, it may be acceptable to adjust your target
Unrealistic targets, however ambitious and ecstatic, are set based on feelings. As such, biases and assumptions are bound to set in, which will negatively impact a project. Therefore, targets should be devoid of feelings and set on facts (data).
It was very important topic for learning how o set the realistic targets

An unrealistic target is set of results that is unlikely to be achieved in that given time. This is because the target did not take note of previous results or facts in the planned implementation of the project.
Unrealistic targets are targets set based on one's feelings or assumptions rather than the available information/data. Unrealistic targets can be overly ambitious and impossible to reach.
It is clear that when determing tartgets for your project indicators, better to do some reasearch and establish your baseline result prior to setting targets. To avoid setting of very low or higher targets. With that and avaliable resources and capacity to implement your activities. we can able to determine a realsitic and achievable targets for a project.
Unrealistic targets are tthe downfal of any project.
It is setting one's self up to fail. Considering that targets are a measure of success they need to be realistic for one to achieve sensible goals and success as well. So, meaning we hav to sure our targets are realistic so as to be meaningful.
Yes Martian,
Just because they are ambitious does not mean they deserve to be unrealistic.
Otherwise tha defeats their purpose
Reasearch indeed minimises the chances of targets being unrealistic. Increasing the chances of the success.
Unrealistic targets could also be an outcome of laziess, not wanting to put in the hours to come up with something decent. It eventually costs and contributes to the likelihood of the project not succeeding.
If you say that someone is being unrealistic, you mean that they do not recognize the truth about a situation, especially about the difficulties involved in something they want to achieve.
Identifying actual past performance.
Confirming all trends and anomalies.
Showing what it would take to reach the unrealistic target.
Finding middle ground.
Adjusting timeline for achieving the goal, if the target setter is unwilling to change the target.
I think unrealistic targets are targets which can not be adjusted if funding changes rather are hard to change if funding changes .
Unrealistic targets might discourage or make the implementers and stakeholders feel disappointed
Unrealistic Target.
Distributing reading lamps to every girl in the chosen off-grid communities. And having their mothers support them in school.
Data collecting tools for this project would include:
Survey, focus group, interview and observation.
Assigning roles and responsibilities to team members who will carry out various tasks in gathering data is quite a task and not easy at that.
I think the most important things with the tools for data collection is that the tools enables data collectors or organization to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes of their activities
Unrealistic targets might not be met which beats the essence of setting them in the first place. To avoid disappointments, set targets you are likely to achieve within the set time. That leaves les room for disappointment.
There are a number of factors that lead to setting unrealistic targets: inaccurate estimation of costs, resources and time required.
Setting targets is very important section in implementing a project.
These are targets which can't be met by project. These targets are set ones mood and not data evidence.
Yes this is very important in setting targets for the project
I have found that when the government sets the targets, they are often unrealistically high. However, the government has been open to negotiation and adaptation of the targets as the project progresses and what is realistic becomes clearer.
Targets are unrealistic if an organisation or government has never performed at the target level or thee is no evidence it can reach the target. that is tto say, failure to recognise the truth about a situattion especially about the difficulties involved in something they [organisation] want to ahieve.
Many people in the workplace are set completely unrealistic targets.

Reaserching data on the problem you want to solve but also researching other organizations that are trying to solve it in different ways is a key path to not setting an unrealistic target.
in most cases it is likely to have unrealistic targets because of of many factors one can be because poor planning and also setting targets before analising the risk.
Setting targets can be very tricky. A lot has to be put into consideration before setting targets. Its okay to set ambitious targets, but they must be other factors in play that have to be considered before setting targets. Factors like:
And other main more.
