The initial change plan, developed in the SAP Activate Prepare phase, sets the OCM roadmap. Option C is correct because considering interdependencies with project milestones (e.g., aligning training with system testing in Realize) ensures synchronization—e.g., if go-live shifts, communication must adjust, preventing misaligned efforts. This integration is vital in SAP Activate, where OCM supports technical delivery. For instance, stakeholder workshops might be timed before fit-to-standard sessions to prepare users, showing how OCM tasks hinge on project progress.
Option A is incorrect—using a different tool (e.g., separate software) risks silos and confusion, not visibility; alignment with the project plan (e.g., same Gantt chart) is standard. Option B is incorrect—waiting for full details contradicts agile principles; the initial plan is high-level and refined later (Explore/Realize), as early info is often incomplete. Option D is incorrect; while stakeholder alignment is valuable, it’s a follow-up to ensure execution, not the development process, which focuses on planning first. SAP OCM prioritizes integration over isolation.
