Development goals are personal growth goals an employee sets and tracks, a certification, course, skill, project, or mentoring relationship, each with a target date, a progress percentage, and optionally a cost and training platform.
Approval: goals can require approval (pending, approved, or rejected), so a manager or HR can sign off, especially when there's a cost attached.
Evidence: attach files or links once a goal is complete, with supporting notes throughout.
Development requires the Professional plan tier or above, a distinct entitlement from Engagement surveys even though both live under people growth.
