Explanation
Business representatives (e.g., the Product Owner or business stakeholders) determine the priority and order of work because they understand the business value, ROI, and risk tolerance of each item. They sequence the backlog considering dependencies and risk mitigation to maximize value delivery. While the project team (C) influences estimates and feasibility, and the architect (D) may advise on technical sequencing, ultimate ordering authority rests with those accountable for business outcomes. The PMO (A) typically sets governance standards but does not dictate individual work sequencing.
