Running partner:  I assume JeVonne will want to do this initially. Deadlines and deliverables are in goals. "We don't need no steeenking consequences."  

Question: The SMART goals are useful. The other two are pedantic.  When I have items that are delegated, I would prefer to use project management software such as a daily planner, Office Project, or an Agile 'stand up' manager.

==Part 2==
Decision matrix tools are useful for clarifying shared priorities of a group. When used individually, they tend to be exercises to justify what you want to do. Eventually, prioritizing becomes natural, the tools are useful for tracking too many things to remember.

SMART goals are great for clarifying tasks, requiring clean definitions. These are a helpful discipline and I will be trying to employ them more rigorously by integrating them into templates for Challenges.
I have no confusion or anxiety concerning them. 

I'm good with the contract. I would like someone at the school to be my partner rather than someone not involved and unfamiliar with the terms and processes.

The two goals I have so far are posted on the previous exercise.  
I'll complete this at the retreat where I hope to pick up a partner.
