unrealistic targets are when Ur targets are too low or too high to what is the reality.

Unrealistic expectations are a challenging part of a project work. There are a number of factors that lead to setting unrealistic targets for instance lack of careful planning, inaccurate estimation of costs, resources and time required, ineffective communication between all the participants involved in the project. Therefore ,this could cause no progress at all on the project.

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:

• Project Scope - the size of the project
• Resources - Time, Money , expertise or data needed
• Timeframe - Start date and end date

And other main more.

I agree. Realitic targets should always be propotional to the amount of resources available.

Unrealistic targets are those targets that can not be achieved because they are not realistic in nature

Targets should be ambitious but realistic. If you miss a target because you were unrealistic, everyone involved in the proect will end up disappointed.

Unrealistic targets are those that are too ambitious for the project to archive.

while selecting indicators it would be abit confusing as an junior M&E,,too ambitious targets are not always unrealistic i agree the budget should always be at the top while setting targets

Unrealistic targets. this are the targets that you set that are ambitious but are unattainable.

Unrealistic targets are the levels that a project is set to achieve but they are too high to achieve within the set timeframe. Unrealistic targets can result if the project team are too ambitious such that they feel they can achieve a certain quality, quantity or efficiency of outputs and outcomes. Similarly, unrealistic targets can result from failure to rely on data while setting the targets.

Basically, unrealistic targets are just unachievable targets.

Unrealistic targets ; are targets that are set ,yet they are almost impossible to achieve.

unrealistic targets, it is important to set targets that are realistic, we are able to do so by considering certain things in our project and and our process. There are times when we are unable to reach the targets that we have set for our project. For example; we can set a time frame for our project, that at a certain date we will have achieved some steps in our process and that can disrupted.

Thank you for me I think that unrealistic target when you focus on what you want rather than what you can actually do or have.

For my point of view it's difficult to set realistic targets - you have to learn a lot of successful projects implemented in other countries or by other donors, their experience, their collaboration with state departments, willing of the state departments to support own project etc. In projects were I was working targets were set mostly at low level, for example 100 teachers were trained in new curricula, 100 healthcare specialists were trained in new methods etc. - I don't know how these target was set.

Unrealistic goals can best be described as the goals you've set, yet they are almost impossible to achieve. While setting goals is important, you should set goals that are ambitious, yet attainable. Unrealistic goals can affect your employees both in the short term and in the long term.

We have definitely set some unrealistic targets at the organization where I work. This mostly stems from the fact that for some of our indicators in the past, it was quite challenging to set a target at all. For example, we wanted to keep track of how many children with learning difficulties or disabilities the teachers in our training program would identify based on what they learned during our training. Since there is no reliable data about the prevalence of learning difficulties & disabilities in Uganda and it was too complex and expensive for us to do a high-quality baseline data collection, we simply did not know what targets to set, especially since 'more' is not automatically 'better' in this context. Now I have learned that we could have used existing, worldwide data to set an estimated target.

Identifying realistic indicators and targets for the inputs, outputs, and outcomes was much easier than choosing realistic indicators and targets for the project impacts. A key challenge that I am facing is a lack of baseline data and the difficulty of collecting data on the scale that would be required to measure long-term impacts.

What dou thing about the Unrealistic Targets?*

I am Giang from Vietnam. I work at Hanoi Association of People with Disabilities. In this working area, I manage and conduct most project related to disability fields to support people with disabilities. So, indicators and targets are always important and neccessary in our project because of making sure how project are useful or helpful. I also would like anyone to share why indicators and targets are important with your working areas. Thanks!

Targets should be ambitious but realistic. If you miss a target because you were unrealistic, everyone involved in the proect will end up disappointed.

Hello all,

Setting goals that are almost impossible to achieve can be frustrating especially to workers. It is advised to set ambitious, yet attainable goals for serene and profitable work place. And it is good practice to set incentives to boost staff morale while setting targets. A happy and satisfied employee definitely makes a positive and efficient workforce.

It is evident to note that setting ambitious goals are paramount as they lead to improved results. However, it is good to make it attainable because unrealized targets can lead to vehement disappointment and set backs.

Unrealistic target will cause the project to be demotivated as they know it is unattainable. Unrealistic targets can also affect the achievement of the project impact

Unrealistic targets are targets that are set without full consideration of baseline knowledge if there are existing data, historical trends, expert opinion, stakeholders expectation, and project budget.
Unrealistic targets are targets that are ambitious and not realistic. These target can be set based on feeling that donor will want to fund the project if the target are high, not considering the project budget, and not considering if the result is measurable and achievable.

Unrealistic targets must not be set with bias.
Realistic targets must be set with relevent data and information.

In M&E, these are targets that often happen when project personnel set do not do their due diligence and set targets without data. These targets result in the personnel making uninformed decisions that often result in the failure of the project. Unrealistic targets do not consider the quality, quantity, and efficiency of the targets and thus end up wasting time, money, and other resources. As such, it is always important to do thorough research, find reliable sources, and collect and analyze said data before setting targets. This will help avoid setting any unrealistic targets and ease up the implementation of the project.

Depending on th resource envelope, targets may be affected and hence become unrealistic. Also many targets are time bound due to delays in release of the project budget.

Ambitious yet unattainable targets.
Targets that are almost impossible to achieve.

Unrealistic targets will waste time and resources on planning somethings that can not be achieved.

Unrealistic targets will waste time and resources on planning somethings that can not be achieved.

Can someone explain about unrealistic targets in details?

we are talking about targets, to set targets like M&E expert, we need to use data. not feelings to set target
This will ensure that we are not letting our bases or assumptions influence our decisions.

Data collection a process or technique for collection data.
Data collection tool is forms, documents or guides that help individuals or organizations collect data
one of our data collection tools is a peer educator, this is a form that collects data from the peer educator
as they conduct their session our peer educators are the ones that go out to field, they can collect information
about their detail of the faciltitor.

Unrealistic targets are targets that cannot be met due to resources available, risks and other factors.
When unrealistic targets are set the team ends up disappointed, the time and energy they put in is wasted too because the target is not realistic. Team members, donors and stakeholders will end up discouraged.

It is unrealistic to assumer that you will not encounter unrealistic targets. Whether it is due to ambition, over-optimistic ideas, or data that is overestimated, we will always have to determine whether our targets are unrealistic or not. It is wise to set a target that may be out of reach and a target that is obviously attainable and then find the happy middle between the two.

Again I have learned that it is key to set not only ambitious but also realistic targets and this puts the project on the road to success. I hope to always reference the seven criteria to come up with strong indicators which can then be used to set the targets. A project with clear targets is transparent which is important to the team members, beneficiaries, donors, and other project stakeholders.

There are ways to avoid unrealistic target. In this case, a baseline data is critical for decision making.

Unrealistic targets are often stemming from a place of "wanting to do good" however they can be avoided by considering things like; project budget, staffing, baseline of data in the area the project is occurring, and better defined indicators

To the uninitiated, sales might appear like an easy career option. Firstly, there’s the client schmoozing, then there’s attendance at swanky events and to top it all off, salespeople all earn huge amounts of money, right? Not quite.

Anyone that has ever worked in a sales environment will know how much of a misperception this is and will be happy to share just how difficult the sales rep’s role really is. The commonly-used performance-based pay structure (low base pay combined with ‘incentivizing’ commission opportunities) means that reps have little choice but to work hard to meet their targets or face a lean month. But, what happens when targets seem unachievable? How should sales reps handle unrealistic sales targets?

1. Don’t panic

As humans, our instinctive reaction to anything that threatens our job security or earning potential is to worry about it. Not hitting your target for a month can be considered an indication of inadequacy. However, the first step to managing the situation is not to panic. You’ve identified an issue you need to resolve; now, there are several steps you can take to improve it.

2. Adjust your approach

Depending on what and how you sell, fine-tune your approach. If you are in telesales involving lots of cold calls, monitor what time of the day and which day of the week the most fruitful calls occur. Make your calls in accordance with this information, and see your numbers start to stack up.

If you are in direct sales, invest in leveraging all channels including social media to build in thorough account information. My personal favorite is subscribing for the prospect company’s press releases and announcements–you will be surprised by the actionable intelligence you get out of this.

Lastly, if you are indirect or channel-driven sales, build a business case for additional budget and invest in targeted demand generation programs with your channel.

3. Assess your working practices

Is the way that you work hindering your chances of meeting targets? Are you using all your social selling tools? Are there any changes you could make in your processes that would increase your productivity? Can you, for example, be more organized regarding having a clear agenda and updated deck for your appointments? Or would working flexibly help you achieve more–it makes sense if you’re a morning person, for example, to start earlier. Take a look at some productivity improvement methods; they could make all the difference.

4. Speak up

If you’ve taken a hard look at your processes, worked to optimize your timing, and your targets really are unattainable, then it’s time to speak to your manager. Before you do so, it’s a good idea to put a business case together to demonstrate what you think is causing the problem–whether it’s the head office’s misguided notion that the targets will motivate staff or just a lack of business opportunity in your patch. Emphasize the steps you’ve taken to turn this issue around and ask for them to reconsider the goals. You may well find that fellow reps are having the same problems but haven’t spoken up.

Regarding the setting of unrealistic targets, it really exposed me to similar situations in the past where we set out unrealistic targets due to the energy level without appropriate data and by the time we got to execution, we were totally overwhelmed and it got us back to the drawing table and finally we were able to reset and execute.

Unrealistic targets are usually based on over ambitious assumptions.

unrealistic target; can cause project not achieve/met, what is planned to achieve or failure. and if this happen is must the project to have review meeting with the stakeholders to re-plan. and mostly what cause this happen are;
1- lack of careful planning
2-inaccurate estimation whether the target beneficiary or the cost and
3- other resource and time required
4- ineffective communication between all the participants involved in the target.

Setting unrealistic targets will definitely lead the whole team to vague directions. For setting realistic targets, it is important to have more consultation with experts, collect data and critically estimate future events.

What is unrealistic targets? Unrealistic targets are tardet that you are not achieved.

Great module

Good to hear that targets are flexible depending on circumstances. In-deed staffs need training on M&E so they understand that its not M&E department role

I like that i have now learned how to set realistic targets using various soures

Unrealistic targets are bad not only for the organization but also for the project and Human Resources. Unrealistic targets may lead to poor outcomes, burnout and a loss of donor support.
Organizations can guard against setting unrealistic targets by having a solid monitoring and evaluation plan, a strong theory of change, doing baseline research, looking up historical trends and doing proper budgeting. The beauty is, targets are not set in stone and thus can be adjusted .

hello everyone

please how do i differentiate an unrealistic target from an ambitious target?

Unrealistic targets are either overly ambitious or do not take into account the project's historical, actual, and potential.

Data management is the practice of collecting, keeping, and using data securely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Unrealistic target can be discouraging and disappointing to both you, worker and your donors, so when target will not be achievable is better adjusting it

Target Areas

Any aspiration that isn't reasonable, doable, or attainable qualifies as an unrealistic objective. Unrealistic goals cause you to burn out or become bored, which leads to an early resignation. Verify that each phase of your plan is doable to spot any unrealistic objectives. Simplify your goals to quit setting impossible ones.

Un projet est toujours ajustable si nécessaire.

Unrealistic targets are often stemming from a place of "wanting to do good" however they can be avoided by considering things like; project budget, staffing, baseline of data in the area the project is occurring, and better defined indicators

to setting target in you project help well to achieve your main goals.

Increasing customer acquisition by 100 percent in a month . In rare cases will customer acquisition meet 100 percent in a month period,it takes time

Unrealistic targets can lead to mistake and poor quality outcome . A target first of all state the level that your project will meet by a certain date and a target is unrealistic when it does not tell your donor how much work you are planning on doing , if you set your target too low your donors may be reluctant to give you the money .

The course has been very helpful in setting realistic and ambitious targets. As someone transitioning to the development sector from the private sector, I have observed several limitations in setting realistic but ambitious targets. The course material has provided a good framework to assess if targets are well set.

These are targets set but they are had to attain for instance you may have a target for eliminating poverty where you want all the people in the community to be at 100% above the poverty line not knowing that you will have people who may not want to work. So when setting targets they should be realistic to achieve

Unrealistic targets can lead to mistakes and poor quality outcomes, since the team and beneficiaries may be forced to rush work, cut corners and not take proper care of what is being done. therefore for any project to be successfully, one has to select targets that are realistic and objective in nature so as to achieve better outcomes.

if the project document giving to me in one of its indicator has a baseline of 0, does that means that any outcome provided by the indicator will be acceptable?

it is very important to make realistic targets as this will enable positive outcome in your project

i have learnt about choosing indicators they must be objective, practical, disaggregated, direct, adequate, useful for management

Unrealistic Targets, mean that they do not recognize the truth about a situation, especially about the difficulties involved in the project goals they want to achieve.

Unrealistic targets can cause disappointments to you, your colleagues and even the donors.

Unrealistic targets can be defined as being too ambitious. That is, setting targets that are unattainable when one is being too optimistic.

Unrealistic targets can be defined as setting targets that are unattainable to reach. That is, being too ambitious and optimistic.

Is it possible that what we thought were realistic targets become unreastic in the course of project implementation?

Looking at an agribusiness one of the unrealistic targets would fall under assuming that the community will approval it, and do away with nomadic nature of life style , when introducing a new type to lifestyle to different communities its of essence that the project should start small by incorporating few members of the community, and with time expound further depending on how the community responds to the idea. It would be totally wrong to believe that a pastrolist community will shun off from its nomadic nature and fully embrace farming. Such a scenario will require lots of patience and capacity building

To what extent can goals be set unilaterally?
The unilateral setting of objectives by the employer must fulfill strict conditions. Indeed, the employer is obliged to set objectives, called "SMART", specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound.

How to fulfill the conditions of a unilateral setting of objectives by the company? What role does the manager play in the communication and pedagogy necessary for fixing them?

Usually, project's members could contribute with outstanding ideas and purposes around the project, and sometimes when defining "targets", those ideas could be far away from project's capabilities, and at the beginning those issues cannot be seen or oversight appropriately, so I think it's necessary a bit of additional procedures to review again those targets and if the case, reformulate them, but without transforming this process in an spiral without and end.

Got to learn that there are different ways we can use when setting up targets to ensure that we minimise the posibility of setting unrealistic targets. Good to that we can readjust our targets during the implementation of the project.


A Target is said to be unrealistic when for instance a project planned to be implemented in two years is attempted in six months.

Also, a Target is said to be unrealistic when the budgeted amount for a project is below the target. For example, a Target has been set to provide 70,000 mosquito nets and the amount released can only acquire 30,000 mosquito nets.

Got to learn that there are different ways we can use when setting up targets to ensure that we minimise the posibility of setting unrealistic targets. Good to that we can readjust our targets during the implementation of the project.

Setting Target is Avery crucial steps in M and E and project planning , Target should be realistic

setting an unrealistic target is a common scenario especially when the planner doesn't know how much fund he is going to receive,in which case he needs to adjust his target

unrealistic targets will demoralize the project team when they monitor the changes they are bringing and the changes they are planning to bring

so in M&E the targets should be ambitious but achievable

Unrealistic Targets are a challenging part of a project. Anyone who’s spent any time in the construction industry at any level understands there are a lot of moving parts that need to mesh together perfectly in order for the project to succeed. Architecture, design, supply, and assembly all need to be perfectly balanced. And if one thing goes awry, it can throw off the entire schedule.

One thing that is crucial for project success is something that is also often overlooked: TARGETS setting.
It is essential to set realistic targets in a project.

There are a number of factors that lead to setting unrealistic targets:

1. Lack of careful planning.
   Having a precise plan with the clear requirements and expectations of all the project participants is a must. If they get down to business right away and skip detailed planning or consider it as a formality, they will probably face difficulties at the very beginning because of mismatching expectations.

2. Inaccurate estimation of costs.
   Estimation is a critical part in project planning, it involves a quantitative specification of project costs, required resources and time. Effective estimation is based on setting clear requirements with the team, clients and stakeholders. Underestimation of the resources required for project implementation leads to one side promising the outcomes that cannot be delivered. Overestimation of the required resources is also possible, in this case the clients may refuse to collaborate with the company and look for more favorable terms. The best alternative here is to determine a certain buffer (e.g. 450-470 m/hr instead of just 450) for the allocated resources to ensure you won’t have any issues later.

One more thing that adds to inaccurate estimation of the project is uncertainty concerning the project scope, work amount, unexpected internal or external events. Lack of necessary information or clarity on these points at the stage of estimation will result in setting unrealistic expectations.

3. Kinds of resources available.

4. Time required : Those deadlines aren’t just suggestions. Failing to manage time properly can create massive issues both for project team members and with the clients who are waiting for their jobs to be finished.

5. Ineffective communication between all the participants(team members, beneficiaries,partners and donors) involved in the project.
   One of the challenging aspects of project in monitoring and Evaluation is setting and then managing targets of both clients and stakeholders. As a rule, everyone comes into a project with some kind of expectations. However, a number of factors often lead to the situation when one side is left expecting more than the other side can offer.
   Poor communication leads to a number of difficulties and misunderstandings. For example, when a project team members do not communicate to stakeholders on time, they are not aware of what has already been done and what requires more time. The same can be said about problems arising during the team’s working on the project. So, it’s not a good idea to leave stakeholders expecting that everything goes well when it actually doesn’t. Lack of proper communication can cause unnecessary delays.
   Lack of effective and timely communication with clients may lead to their disorientation concerning the project activities and therefore setting unrealistic targets.

6. Desire to please clients/stakeholders.
   It sometimes happens that the fear of losing clients or stakeholders’ credit forces project team members to agree on some requirements without thorough consideration. In turn, this leads to underestimation of the available resources, so there is a discrepancy between one side’s expectations and what another side can actually deliver. In such a situation, it’s rather difficult to admit that something has gone wrong, and the problems begin to snowball. If these matters are not negotiated by all participants of the project, thorough estimation of the available resources isn’t done, and clear realistic targets aren’t set, the project impact in all likelihood will fail.

Note that these reasons are closely interrelated and influence one another, so in the process of dealing with expectations, it’s important to take all of them into account.

Overcoming Unrealistic Targets may be rather difficult, but there are some steps that can be taken to provide success:
1.Planning with detailed expectations.
2.Systemic work with the team to clarify everyone’s roles and responsibilities.

3. Focus on reaching the project milestones to demonstrate progress, which motivates the team and makes things clear.
4. Providing effective communication between all the parties involved in the project.

es ce qu'il faudrait dire ce que c'est qu'un objectif irréalistes ou alors dire comme gérer s'il est possible ce type d'objectif?
Mais je pense que d'après le cour ce style d'objectif ne devrait pas être pris en compte sauf si c'est un défit ou un challenge à réaliser la dans ce cas on pourrait peut-être le considérer comme un objectif ambitieux

It is important to set realistic targets, so that you create disappointment and frustration among the team and with the client.

Targets are realistic goals you want to reach within a stipulated period of time.when you say someone is is being unrealistic you mean that the person do not recognize truth about a certain situation especially about the difficulties involved in something they want to achieve. They cannot be achieved within a short period of time because they are often too over ambitious,so as unrealistic target that can be met or achieved within a short period of time.
By practicing, setting and enforcing boundaries,considering your supervisor's intention , soliciting help from your co- workers to reach goal and creating a workflow timeline that can help you succeed .All these mentioned can help deal with unrealistic target.

Unrealistic targets depend on analysis of causes
