• Key Concepts: 
  An individual development plan (IDP) is a tool used in SAP's Personnel Development (PA-PD) component to help employees identify and plan for their professional development goals. It is a document that outlines an employee's current skills and abilities, as well as their desired skills and abilities. The IDP also includes a timeline for achieving these goals, and can be used to track progress over time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The IDP is created by the employee in collaboration with their manager or supervisor. The employee should identify their current skills and abilities, as well as the skills and abilities they would like to develop. They should then create a timeline for achieving these goals, including specific milestones and deadlines. The IDP should be reviewed regularly to ensure that the employee is on track to meet their goals. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an IDP, it is important to be realistic about what can be achieved in the given timeframe. It is also important to set measurable goals that can be tracked over time. Additionally, it is important to review the IDP regularly with the employee's manager or supervisor to ensure that progress is being made towards the desired goals.
