Career plans

A role sets the baseline expectations for a job. A career plan lets you develop an individual beyond that baseline, toward a stretch goal, a promotion, or a personal growth area.

A career plan in progress: the development plan sets the direction, and the assigned next-role skills show readiness building underneath it.

Preparing for the next role

Assign skills from the role the person is growing toward, independent of their current role. These appear on their profile alongside role-inherited skills, so you can start assessing next-role expectations early and watch readiness build over time.

This turns promotions from a judgment call into evidence. When someone has mastered their own role’s skills and is showing solid mastery of the next role’s, the case for promoting them is already made, backed by observations rather than impressions.

The development plan

Each person can have an open-ended, markdown development plan: a place to describe where they’re headed and the path to get there. Use it to make growth conversations concrete and to keep direction visible between Meetings.
