Use the Development Plan section to add training and action steps to the reviewee's development plan on the performance review. Administrators can configure the Development Plan section to build upon the reviewee's existing primary development plan or create a new performance review development plan. If the Development Plan section is set to build upon the reviewee's primary development plan, the section behavior depends on the status of the reviewee's existing primary development plan. See Performance Review - Development Plan - Primary Plan Status.

Add Objective
Development plans are creating by adding development objectives to outline what you are trying to achieve in your development plan. Objectives are the target areas of the plan. For example, if you are creating a development plan to improve your communication skills, you may create an objective to improve your writing skills. This objective should contain all of the training and actions you need to complete in order to achieve the objective, such as completing writing classes or shadowing a writer at your organization. See Performance Review - Development Plan - Add Objective.

The user's primary development plan is pulled in to the Development Plan section of the performance review. If the user's primary plan changes while the performance review is open, the user is notified within the Development Plans section of the review, and they are given the option to sync the new or updated primary plan into the review and remove the previous plan from the review. When the new plan is synced with the review, any comments or modifications that were added to the plan within the review are not saved.
Development Plan Section Completion
The development plan approval process occurs after the entire performance review is complete and submitted and training items and action steps are added to the development plan.
When the performance review is completed and submitted, a snapshot of the development plan objectives, training, and action steps is captured. Any items added, removed, or modified from the development plan outside of the performance review are not reflected in the performance review.
Training items and action steps are only added to the development plan if the task is completed and submitted. If the performance review task is Incomplete, Past Due, or Not Submitted, the items are not added to the development plan.
