Review your Development Plan

[SallyMcGrath]

Learning Objectives

• Review your development plan
• Identify the format of a SMART goal
• Revise one short, medium, and long term SMART goal in your plan

Why are we doing this?

Work on your Career Development plan, so that it reflects your learnings and where you evolved. Your goals might be different now, and writing them down can keep your focus and give you a tool to discuss them with anyone you trust who would like an opinion.

Remember: 2-3 areas are enough to change in such a short time, so it's better to focus on a few, get them nailed, and then choose another area.

Technical knowledge is important, but the skills and processes are also important so you can get a job in tech. So think about both sides.

Examples of goals

• Short term: Practicing coding = Code 1 hour a day on weekdays
• Medium-term: Enhance my written English = Trying to correct by myself the errors that the automated grammar tool is showing in my text
• Long term: Get a job in tech = Send 1 tailored CV per day when I have graduated from Code Your Future

Submission & Review

Your development plan is your own and so there is no need to submit it for review. If you would like feedback you could share it with a mentor or peer you respect and ask for their advice.
