Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Individual Development Plan (IDP)
PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT:
Authority: 5 CFR 362.204 requires all Presidential Management Fellows to maintain an Individual Development Plan during their two year appointment.
Purpose: The form is used to set forth the specific developmental activities designed to impart the competencies of the occupation or functional discipline in
which a Fellow is likely to be placed. The form is designed to capture a Fellow’s training and development over a two year period.
Routine Uses: The information will be used by the Fellow, his/her supervisor, and appropriate agency personnel to document and track the Fellow’s training and
development. In addition, the form is to be included in a Fellow’s certification package when presented to the agency’s Executive Resources Board, or equivalent,
as part of the PMF Program’s requirements for completion of the fellowship.
Disclosure: Use of this form and furnishing this information is optional; however, Fellows are required to prepare and maintain an Individual Development Plan.
Failure to furnish this information may delay or prevent the completion of the fellowship, which may prevent continued employment or conversion to a non-
competitive permanent position. Agencies may use alternative formats.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING THE PMF IDP:
Fellows and their supervisors must use IDPs to determine expectations for attaining clearly defined learning objectives and competencies during their fellowship.
The agency’s Executive Resources Board (ERB), or its equivalent, must certify whether Fellows have successfully completed the Program as outlined in 5 CFR
362.204. The ERB can establish its own procedures for conducting the review, but must consider whether: (1) the Fellow has met all of the requirements of the
Program, as outlined in the Program regulations found at 5 CFR 362, (2) has demonstrated successful performance according to the individual’s performance
plan, and (3) has achieved the developmental expectations set forth in the IDP.
Both the Fellow and supervisor should review the IDP periodically and make adjustments as needed. Appointing agency may have additional requirements;
consult with the Agency PMF Coordinator for any details. A completed copy must be included in the certification package. Attach additional sheets if necessary.
Use of this form is optional; agencies may utilize alternative formats. Agencies may refer to the PMF Guide for Agencies on the PMF website (www.pmf.opm.gov
)
for additional information on the ERB process.
