Which of the following BEST describes technical management?

Facilities management and building control systems describe the Facilities Management sub-function within IT Operations Management, which is a separate ITIL function from Technical Management.

Hardware repair services alone is far too narrow a scope; Technical Management encompasses architecture, planning, and overall infrastructure management across the full lifecycle.

Technical Management is an ITIL function defined by its responsibilities and capabilities, not by the seniority level of its staff - defining it by management rank misrepresents its functional scope.

In ITIL Service Operation, Technical Management is formally defined as a function that provides technical expertise, skills, and resources needed to design, test, manage, and improve IT infrastructure. It serves a dual role as both the custodian of technical knowledge across the organization and a provider of the resources needed to plan, implement, and maintain a stable technical infrastructure supporting service delivery.
