It is an optional dropdown shown first when creating or editing a plan, with four fixed options: Grow and Current Role, Prepare for Aspirational Role, Performance Improvement, and Skills Development. Managers can add context, and the field also supports future AI powered recommendations and reporting (reporting in November, not in July). The feature is available on stage 11 June and on production 10 July, with historic development plans showing an empty plan purpose by default on the new UI.
