Why each option
A transition plan is used at the end of a project to formally hand off deliverables and transfer maintenance responsibilities to the operational or support team.
Moving between project phases is governed by phase gates or stage gate reviews, not a transition plan, which is specifically focused on the end-of-project handoff to operations.
A transition plan documents the steps, resources, training, and timelines needed to transfer completed project deliverables and ongoing support responsibilities from the project team to the receiving organization or operations staff. It ensures continuity by defining who is accountable for maintenance after the project team disbands, which is the primary purpose of such a plan.
Project approval converts a proposal into an active project and is documented in the project charter or approval record, not in a transition plan.
Adding a project manager and shifting authority is addressed through the project charter or responsibility assignment matrix, not through a transition plan.
Concept tested: Transition plan purpose at project closure
