Final answer:

Scrum does not have a role called 'Project Manager'; instead, it has three core roles: the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, and the Development Team, which distribute traditional project management responsibilities among them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that Scrum has a role called "Project Manager" is False. Scrum is an agile framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products, and it does not define a role called Project Manager. Instead, Scrum has three core roles: the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, and the Development Team. The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. They do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Development Team. The Development Team is a group of professionals who deliver a potentially releasable Increment of "Done" product at the end of each Sprint.

Project Manager responsibilities are often distributed among these three roles. The Scrum Master can often take on traditional project facilitating roles, the Product Owner may deal with project vision and return of investment (ROI), and the entire team manages the work, making traditional project manager roles redundant.
