Enhanced upskilling plans

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Eightfold team

WHAT'S INCLUDED

With this release, three built-in plan types are available: general, role-based, and skill-based. Selected during creation, these subtypes display as a badge on the plan header and determine field requirements on the creation form — for example, a role-based plan requires a role and populates suggested skills from it. Customers can further use configuration to rename these built-in subtypes, restrict specific plan types to template managers, override field visibility and requirements per subtype, or create their own custom subtypes.

Additionally, the Development Plans tables in My Profile now include a completion progress bar column, so employees can see each plan's progress without opening it. This column is config-driven, has a customizable header label, and is off by default. Finally, Plan Type is now a reportable field in Insights → Data Hub and a selectable column on the My Development Plans page.

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Admins can create and edit custom plan types — for example, "Business Goal" versus "Development Goal" — through a guided form, with no separate configuration step.

  • Employees and managers can scan completion across all their plans from the Progress column.

  • Plan Type is now available for reporting in Insights → Data Hub, so the right stakeholders can dig into development-plan adoption data.

Requirements

  • Module pre-req: career_hub_base_config must be enabled, since the Progress column and custom plan types build on Career Hub's base setup.

  • Config (optional): upskilling.plan_subtypes — define custom plan types. Optional; the three built-in types, restricted to plan templates.

  • Config: completionProgressBar — add to the relevant assignment table's display_config to show the per-plan Progress column. 

GETTING STARTED

Admins: Configure custom plan types using the Plan Types form UI in career_hub_base_config (Configuration tab). To show the per-plan Progress column, add completionProgressBar to the relevant assignment table's display_config. To know more, read Configure plan types.

End users: When creating a development plan, managers and HRBPS can choose a plan type. If more than one is visible to you, your selection appears as a badge on the plan header. On the Development Plans list, a Progress column now shows completion for each plan individually. To know more, read  Plan types for Development Plan.
