In the SAP LeanIX data governance model, the Application Owner is the individual primarily responsible for the business-related aspects of an application. A key responsibility is to assess the application's "Functional Fit," which evaluates how well the application's features and functions meet the current and future needs of the business. This assessment is crucial for making informed decisions within Application Portfolio Management (APM), such as whether to invest in, maintain, or retire an application.

B. Developing an IT strategy is a high-level, strategic task typically performed by senior IT leadership, such as the CIO or Chief Enterprise Architect, not individual application owners.

C. Managing the technical implementation and maintenance of application integrations is the responsibility of solution architects, integration specialists, or development teams.

D. Documenting technical IT performance, such as server uptime or response times, is a function of IT operations or infrastructure management teams.
