Development activities, individual development plans, and goals

A resource's individual development plan consists of the resource's current and historical goals, personal activities, development activities, and checklists.

Development activities are always displayed to learning managers. These are activities that appear on the resource's record and can result in the resource being awarded a competency, skill, or credential. Resource development activities are usually based on catalog development activities. Learning managers can define activities that are not displayed in the catalog but can still be assigned to resources.

Personal activities are activities defined for the resource outside the catalog. For example "Complete performance reviews by the end of September." Either the resource, the resource manager, or the resource's mentor can create personal activities for the resource. Personal activities are not displayed to learning managers.

Both development activities and personal activities can be associated with goals.
