Explanation

The Business Owner (sometimes called Executive Sponsor or Stakeholder) is the organizational leader who funds the project, champions the product at an executive level, and actively works with the Scrum Master to remove organizational impediments that are beyond the team's authority to resolve. This role is distinct from the Product Owner, who manages the backlog and represents stakeholder needs to the development team, and from the Project Manager, who focuses on plan-based delivery. The Subject Matter Expert provides domain knowledge but holds no budget or sponsorship authority.
