will result in the following grade deduction:
Performance plans (or performance improvement plans) are documents created with the
aim to improve the work of an individual, a group, a team, or a company. They are
constructed and laid out by team leaders/supervisors/managers, and oftentimes handed in
for assessment.
When it comes to groups and teams, the performance plans rely on collective goals and
performance levels that members should reach together.
The aim of a Group Development Plan is to identify the collective learning needs of the
team. It also identifies the support each group member requires from colleagues in
achieving personal development goals, which may be related to the group purpose or their
own career self-management.
