Why each option
The change management process typically starts in the operational or maintenance phase of a system's lifecycle, where requests for changes are identified and initiated for existing systems. This phase, often designated as Phase 4 in many lifecycle models, involves identifying new requirements, resolving issues, or implementing enhancements.
Phase 2 usually involves design or development, where changes are part of the initial creation process rather than formal change management for an operational system.
Phase 1 typically involves project initiation and planning, preceding the identification of operational changes requiring a formal change management process.
In many project or system lifecycle models, formal change management begins during the operation and maintenance phase (often depicted as Phase 4), where the need for modifications, enhancements, or corrective actions to deployed systems is identified and processed.
Phase 3 generally represents implementation or deployment, which is when the system goes live, but the ongoing change management process for the operational system starts afterward.
