DEEP Backlog
A concept that relates to how development backlogs should be groomed. The acronym stands for:
- Detailed - Enough details that a member of your team can work on the items independently
- Emergent - Work is flexible and fluctuates based on the team needs, business needs, and/or customer needs
- Estimated - Items with a high level of estimate are broken down into multiple items
- Prioritized - When the work for the sprint is completed early then pull the top prioritized item(s) into the sprint
