    3. Add a Development Action of your own design (text entry)




8. Click the Browse Recommended button to find and add development actions and training recommended from your competency assessment. (This is an alternative approach to adding recommended items from the Competency Assessment Summary screen.)

11. The items you add appear in the Learning and Development section of your objective. Adjust due dates as needed. Click the edit icon for action items if you want to adjust or add to the wording. If you are done adding objectives, click Save and Return to Plan. If you need to add another objective click Save and Add Another and repeat steps to define new objectives and add development and training to them.

12. Note: If appropriate, you can also search for learning to add to your objective via key words, subject, etc., or add your own free form development actions.

15. When finished editing your plan, click Submit Plan. The button reads ‘Submit’ rather than

16. Your revised plan appears on the main Development Plan screen. Click on the plan name to view it and manage progress. Using the drop-down selector on the right, you can also edit, print, or cancel the plan, as needed.
