Explanation

In Scrum, the Product Owner (PO) is the single individual accountable for maximizing the value of the product. This includes prioritizing the product backlog based on business value for each feature or user story. The development team estimates effort, but business value judgment belongs exclusively to the PO. The ScrumMaster facilitates the process, and the steering committee may set broader organizational direction, but neither determines per-feature business value.
