View Development Plans

In the Development Plans feature, you can view your personal development plans and your employees' development plans (if you're a manager or administrator) in the following tabs:

  • Team plans: Contains the plans created for your employees (if you're a manager or administrator).
  • My plans: Contains your own personal development plans.
  • Draft plans: Contains plans that you saved in draft form for yourself and for your employees.

Development plans are displayed in these tabs as cards on a timeline, organized by start and due date. In the Team plans tab, a card is displayed for each of your employees, and you must click View to display the associated development plans.

Each development plan card provides a summary of the plan details, including a count of the assigned activities, the purpose, the status, and the name of the module in which the plan was created. You can click these cards to view each plan's full details.

Note: For plans that were migrated from the Performance feature, you might see a conversations icon in the plan details. You can click the icon to view a read-only record of conversations that were added to the plan before it was migrated. Adding new conversations and replying to existing conversations isn’t supported.

Status Indicators for Development Plans

Dayforce displays each development plan's status on the plan card and in the plan details. This status is calculated based on the overall progress and due dates.

Development plan statuses
Status Description
Not started The plan is 0% completed (if there are activities, they are all in the Not Started state).
In progress The plan is on track to be completed by the due date (if there are activities, at least one has been started).
Completed The plan is 100% completed (if there are activities, they all have the Completed status).
At risk The plan progress is 10% or more behind the expected progress, calculated based on the due date.
Overdue The plan has passed the due date and isn’t completed (if there are activities, at least one activity doesn't have the Completed status).

Filters for Development Plans

You can use the filter fields in the My plans and Team plans tabs of the Development Plans feature to find specific plans or employees.
