What tools/frameworks would you recommend for career development plans?

SFIA is a good framework for technology career development, but even then it is not an exact science. If you're helping your organisation develop career paths, this is a good start. If you are looking at your own career development, it helps to know your next step or two (pointless at this stage to plan beyond it) and keep an eye on those job ads for ideas in terms of skills and academics to build.
Thank you for sharing this, Sandra!
LinkedIn for networking, listening and learning from peers and your immediate superiors, tireless work ethic and good timing. It worked well for me, it can do the same for anyone else!
I recommend a blank sheet of paper, a writing utensil, and time with someone you trust. This could be a manager, coach, mentor, or trusted peer. There's so much value and power in simply talking to someone about career development and the next steps in your/their career. Everyone recommending Learning Management Information System (LMIS) isn't taking the time to read the question and isn't providing any value to this conversation.
Companies should have career paths based on skillset and interest.
There are multiple tools like myacademy, udemy, coursera etc where we can create learning paths for people to follow.
As always there could be manual , automated way to create career development plans.
If you are asking the question from the viewpoint of the employer, you already have lots of feedback. If you are asking from the viewpoint of yourself, beware how the actioning of a company's career development plans could be abused. Getting needed experience on a topic can potentially be filled a variety of ways where some are more qualitative than others. In order for the program administrators to show development plans are progressing nicely, the content being populated into the systems may not accurately reflect reality or the spirit of the development plan (yes, that's just the auditor in me, but I have seen employees being given development opportunities that really didnt make a difference in their development).
