Which of these is NOT a responsibility of Application Management?

Application Management is responsible for managing applications throughout their lifecycle - including requirements gathering, design, build, test, deploy, and operation of applications specifically. Ensuring correct skills exist to manage infrastructure falls under IT Operations Management, which owns the operational environment supporting those applications. Application Management provides expertise on applications, not on the broader infrastructure skill base.

Providing guidance to IT Operations on how best to manage an application is a core Application Management responsibility, as they hold deep application knowledge.

Deciding whether to buy or build an application is a key Application Management responsibility performed during the requirements and design phase of the lifecycle.

Assisting in the design of the application is explicitly an Application Management function, leveraging their technical expertise during service design.
