Which AFFORGEN phase comes after Prepare?

• A. Prepare
• B. Certify
• C. Available to Commit
• D. Reset

Answer: (B)

In AFFORGEN, the execution cycle follows a clear sequence: Prepare, Certify, Available to Commit, Reset. After you have prepared the plan, the next step is Certify, where the plan’s costs and funding are reviewed and validated to ensure accuracy and affordability. This certification confirms that there are valid funds and that the program is executable within fiscal constraints. Only after certification can the funds move to the Available to Commit phase, where obligations can be made. Reset comes at the end to prepare for the next cycle. So, the phase that comes after Prepare is Certify.
