The Product Backlog — Living, Ordered, and Never Complete
🎬 Video Lesson · 10 min
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product. It is the single source of work for the Scrum Team.
The DEEP Acronym
- Detailed appropriately — items near the top have more detail
- Estimated — items near the top are estimated by Developers
- Emergent — continually updated as we learn
- Prioritized (Ordered) — ordered by value
Product Backlog Refinement: An ongoing process — NOT a formal Scrum event. Typically ≤10% of Sprint capacity.
