Objectives. Assessment of the need to adjust the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Strategy in the Sverdlovsk Oblast and the development of mathematical tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the document's implementation.

Results. It has been established that the Strategy for the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the Sverdlovsk Oblast lacks a direct correlation between goals and key indicators. It is necessary to prioritize the main indicators outlined in the document according to their level of importance.
Conclusions. In the current conditions, it is necessary to develop short-term strategies and a regular review of long-term strategies for the development of economic sectors is required (approximately every three years).
