Sort the four stages of the cyclical change identification and evolution process in the correct order, starting from a new system being deployed.

Change proposals are reviewed and prioritized
Software evolution process produces a new system
The software evolution process implements the accepted changes
Change identification process generates change proposals

Correct Answer

(1) Software evolution process produces a new system
(2) Change identification process generates change proposals
(3) Change proposals are reviewed and prioritized
(4) The software evolution process implements the accepted changes

Explanation

The cycle runs continuously: a new system is produced, which prompts the change identification process to generate change proposals; these proposals are reviewed and prioritized; the software evolution process then implements the accepted changes, producing a new system, and the cycle repeats.
