Turn a vague career direction into a plan you can return to. The template connects a longer-term direction with near-term objectives, a current 90-day focus, and a small set of goals you can review regularly.

Who this is for

Senior engineers and engineering leaders who want more than a one-time career worksheet. Use it when you know you want to grow but need a clearer way to connect that direction to real work, evidence, and regular review.

What is inside

  • A career direction section for the work you want more and less exposure to

  • Two or three objectives for the next 6–12 months

  • A focused 90-day responsibility or skill to practise through real work

  • A five-field goal tracker for Area, Status, Target date, and Next review

  • A reusable goal page for actions, evidence, support, and review notes
