Why each option
Availability Management encompasses all three activities - meeting targets, monitoring actual availability, and continuous improvement - as a complete lifecycle discipline.
Selecting only item 1 omits monitoring/reporting and improvement, both of which are integral components of the Availability Management process.
Availability Management includes ensuring services meet agreed availability targets through proactive design and reactive management. It also includes monitoring and reporting actual availability against those targets, and driving improvement activities to ensure services continue to meet or exceed goals as business needs evolve.
Selecting items 1 and 2 omits improvement activities, which are a required part of Availability Management to ensure ongoing compliance with targets over time.
Selecting items 1 and 3 omits monitoring and reporting, which is essential for measuring whether availability targets are actually being met.
