Explanation
Creating a transition plan during the planning phase is the foundational action that would have prevented this situation. A transition plan identifies all impacted operational areas, defines readiness requirements, establishes timelines for handoff, and ensures affected departments are engaged and prepared well in advance. Option A (adding the operations manager as a stakeholder) supports engagement but alone does not ensure operational readiness. Option C (communications plan) ensures notification but not preparation or training. Option D (training plan) addresses one aspect of readiness but is a subset of the broader transition plan, which encompasses training, approval, and operational handoff in a structured way.
