# Growth plans overview

Build your growth plan to organize and track your career goals.

Growth plans are a simplified and intuitive way to build growth plans that give your career goals guidance and structure and are used to do the following:

-   Create a growth plan.
-   View tasks connected to your growth plan such as trainings or connections with peers or managers.
-   View growth plan items and their state, progress, and status updates.
-   View growth plan details such as due dates and plan activities, plan status, and edit your plan details.
-   View and add additional plan activities.
-   Learn more about how growth plans can help you develop and discover new opportunities.

**Note:** Create a growth plan based on your aspirations and conversations or you can build a growth plan from scratch based off criteria selected during the creation of your growth plan.

Growth plans are tailored to your individual needs and aspirations to help provide a roadmap to your career goals. With support from your peers and manager, you can achieve new heights in your career.
