Explanation

In DSDM/AgilePM, the Delivery Plan is the project-level artifact that tracks all phases of the project lifecycle, including deployment - so the correct move is to consult and update it rather than create something new or put deployment into a Timebox Plan. Option B is correct because deployment is a project-level concern already scoped in the Delivery Plan, and the PM should update it to reflect the specific deployment activities rather than duplicating or ignoring existing planning artifacts.

A is wrong because a Timebox Plan for the next Development Timebox is forward-looking development planning, not deployment planning - these are different concerns at different levels. C is wrong because creating a brand-new plan ignores the Delivery Plan that already exists for this purpose; reinventing the wheel contradicts good governance. D is wrong because Timebox Plans govern work within a timebox (development activities), not what happens after it - deployment sits above the timebox level.

Memory tip: Think "Delivery Plan = big picture, Timebox Plan = sprint-level." Deployment is part of the big picture, so it lives in - and is updated via - the Delivery Plan.
