Explanation

In Scrum, the Product Owner is responsible for change management. They own the product backlog and have the authority to accept, reject, or reprioritize change requests based on business value, stakeholder input, and project goals. There is no traditional Project Manager role in Scrum. The Scrum Master removes impediments and coaches the team but does not control scope or priority. The Product Sponsor provides funding and strategic direction but is not responsible for day-to-day change decisions.
