 A development plan is a key component of a performance management plan because it guides performance improvement and helps with employee buy-in. Create a short-term development plan (1-2 years) and a long-term development plan (3-5 years) for yourself. In your plan, address these items:
Development objectives,
How skills will be acquired,
A timeline for acquisition, and
Standards and measures for assessing improvement.
Keep the following in mind:
You are writing your own development plan. First, complete an assessment of your professional needs and/or deficiencies and career plans (e.g., complete HCM degree) and then write the plan. Assume you are submitting the development plan to your faculty member, the manager.

Your plan should be organized in a clearly labeled table with appropriate headings.
