Weekly plans help you create and organize the specific items or tasks you need to accomplish to achieve your objective or fulfill key responsibilities. Your weekly plan is shared with your supervisor to review in your 1-1.
To create a weekly plan, you will need to add tasks to your objectives or roles. Any tasks you do not complete in previous weeks will automatically be copied over. The Weekly Plan page will default to the current week. You can plan for the following week by selecting a new week.
