Assemble a development plan from the list of accomplishments, competencies, courses, and activities.

The first stage in creating a development plan is to identify the accomplishments, competencies, courses, and activities that you plan to use. After these elements are in place, assemble them into a development plan.

To create a development plan:

  1. Identify the appropriate accomplishments using the Accomplishment page.

  2. Identify the required competencies using the Competency page.

  3. Identify the relevant development courses on the Training Course page.

  4. Set up professional compliance activities on the Activity page.

  5. Assemble a development plan from the list of accomplishments, competencies, courses, and activities using the Plan page.

    After you identify the elements of the development plan, you can create the plan itself. Because development plans are directly associated with particular classification levels—that is, each classification level is associated with a "default" plan—the search record used for the development plan menu option contains a list of classification levels for each professional type/regulatory authority combination that you have set up.

    Note: After you have defined a "default" development plan for each classification level, you can enroll individuals in these plans on the Development Record page.

    All development elements have SETID as the high-level key so that development plans can be organized at the business unit level.

Use the Accomplishment page (PCMP_DEV_ACPS) to identify accomplishments that you want to add to the development plan.
