  • BDetailed appropriately, Emergent, Estimated, and Prioritized
  • CDescriptive, Emergent, Estimated, and Prioritized

DEEP is an acronym describing the qualities of a well-maintained product backlog: Detailed appropriately (items near the top are refined with more detail than those farther down), Emergent (the backlog evolves as new information is discovered), Estimated (items have effort estimates, especially higher-priority ones), and Prioritized (items are ordered by value/risk so the team always works on the most important things first).
