Pedagogical scripting is one of the teacher's responsibilities. They must be sure to create objectives that are consistent with ministerial expectations in the context of regular training institutions, or with the desires of students in more specific, private training settings or in a skills enhancement context.
In short, whatever the didactic environment, pedagogical objectives are fundamental, since they indicate the end goal. As this trainer gives as an example, this is equivalent to knowing the travel destination of her course. Are we going to Egypt or Norway? Because that's going to require different luggage.
After that, the idea is not only to formulate the aim of the course, but also to break it down into bite-sized chunks that are effective and relevant to learners. Even before writing, this is essential. After that, it's up to the teacher to use the writing method that suits him best and that he understands. Bloom's taxonomy, the 3 C's rule or others - it's up to them to choose. In the case of our trainer, she prefers the SMART approach, which means that the objective is :
In this method, all these elements are important to think about before composing your objective. As for the writing itself, it all depends on who the script is intended for. If it involves several trainers or is intended to be shared, the objectives must be clear and understandable by all.

Speed of execution, a good criterion, but not universal
Speed of execution is often used as the yardstick for mastering a technique. But is this really enough, or do we need to include other elements in this assessment, such as the success of the task, or the ability to know when to slow down, especially for learning purposes, not to mention the fact that certain cognitive dysfunctions make it impossible to automate tasks and thus gain in speed.
