Planning own work

Translates own work into a plan with steps, interim results and lead times, and tracks progress against that plan throughout the period.

How hrmforce measures this

The candidate performs a representative work sample under standardised conditions.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Fills in a pre structured weekly schedule and discusses with the supervisor which step to take first. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Builds an own plan with milestones and dependencies, checks progress weekly and revises the plan when actual progress deviates. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Introduces planning methods that are adopted across the discipline and decides how capacity is distributed over multi year work streams. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
