Explanation

The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value delivered by the team and therefore owns Return on Investment (ROI). They manage and prioritize the product backlog to ensure the highest-value items are built first, making trade-off decisions that directly drive ROI. While a Project Sponsor may fund the project and an Agile Project Manager may facilitate delivery, it is the Product Owner who makes day-to-day decisions about what gets built and in what order-the primary levers of business value.
