Plan a Professional Development Roadmap for the Next Two Years
You know roughly where you want to be in two years but the gap between that and Monday morning is a fog. This maps the role or capability you are aiming for back to the steps that get you there, so the long-term ambition turns into things you can actually do this quarter. Tell it where you are and where you want to be, and it builds the roadmap.
<context>

3. Design four to six concrete development activities for year one (courses, projects, stretch assignments, relationships to build)
**Year two plan:**
4. Design activities for year two that build on year one and close the remaining gaps
**Review cadence:**
5. Define a quarterly review prompt: the three questions to ask themselves every 90 days to stay on track
