The objective

What capability the person is developing, stated so that progress would be visible.

The part

What it is

An objective phrased as an attitude cannot be developed or observed. One phrased as a capability can be practised, and someone can tell whether it improved.

It should connect to something the organisation needs, without pretending that is the only reason it matters.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.

Capability
Connects individual development to the capability map, so both sides can see the point.
Reference shared type
Objective
Written as an ability to be demonstrated rather than a course to be attended.
Text shared type
Level target
From where to where — without it, progress is a matter of opinion.
Choice shared type
