Explanation
The Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) process follows a defined sequence: Plan → Develop → Test → Release → Monitor. The very first phase is planning, which includes gathering and analyzing requirements to understand what needs to be built and why. Without defined, analyzed requirements, development in a sandbox (Option C) would be premature and could lead to rework. Option B (obtaining a change order) is a process step but not the first step in ALM - requirements must be understood before formal change documentation is issued. Requirements gathering and analysis is always the starting point to ensure the right solution is built.
