Which actions must be completed before an employee can add a goal to their goal plan?

• A. The employee must have a goal plan assigned to them; The worker must select the goal plan when creating the goal
• B. The manager must approve the goal; The employee must submit a draft
• C. A goal library must exist; The employee must log in
• D. The system must generate goals automatically; The employee must save draft

Answer: (A)

Goals sit inside a goal plan, which provides the framework, time frame, and alignment for performance objectives. Because of that, you can only add a new goal if you already have a goal plan assigned to you, and you must select that plan when you create the goal so it’s linked to the correct plan and cycle. Without an assigned plan, there’s no container or context for the goal, so it wouldn’t be properly organized or visible in performance reviews. The requirement to choose the plan during creation ensures the goal is stored under the right plan and can be tracked and evaluated correctly. Other steps like manager approval, drafting, logging in, or having a library exist are workflow or setup elements that occur after the goal is added, not prerequisites for attaching a goal to a plan.
