Why each option
A transition plan defines how project deliverables will be handed off to operations or another team and must be created during Planning so the process is ready before closure. Drafting it during Planning ensures all stakeholders are aligned before execution completes.
The Closing phase is when the transition plan is executed, not when it is first written.
The Initiation phase focuses on the project charter and high-level feasibility, not detailed operational handoff planning.
The Execution phase is for carrying out project work; transition planning should already be finalized before this phase begins.
The Planning phase is where transition plans are created because the team must define handoff steps, responsibilities, training needs, and timelines before work is executed. Creating the plan here ensures that when the project closes, all parties already have an agreed-upon process for transferring deliverables to their operational owners.
