Application Ownership Roles & Responsibilities
Clear ownership and associated responsibilities are key to good governance (setting direction and accountability) and the effective on-going management (executing and operating within that direction) of Applications.
Every application must have both an Application Business Owner and an Application Technical Owner - typically a UCD unit or school that has the sufficient authority, skills, and resources to fulfil the role effectively.
These roles are supported by Application Business Contact and Application Technical Contact roles respectively - named UCD employees supporting the owners as the Primary contacts for the purposes of engaging with IT Services for maintaining UCD’s Application Portfolio, a key element of enterprise architecture.
Agreement and assignment of these roles is required prior to acquiring, deploying, or developing an application.
