Which step involves rehearsing the plan before execution?

• A. Retrain
• B. Train
• C. Rehearse
• D. Plan the training event

Answer: (C)

Rehearsing the plan before execution is about validating and syncing the team’s actions in a realistic run-through. It gives everyone a chance to practice their roles, timing, and communications, and to surface issues in the sequence, dependencies, or contingencies before real action occurs. This step comes after you’ve created the plan and trained on the necessary skills, and it prepares you for smooth execution by turning the plan into a practiced routine. Training focuses on building capabilities; planning creates the actual plan; retraining isn’t the standard term used here. By rehearsing, you confirm cues, handoffs, and resource coordination, and you can adjust the plan accordingly.
