About GIST Planning
GIST is a four-level planning framework — Goals, Ideas, Steps, Tasks — that replaces the commitment-based roadmap with an evidence-based pipeline of validated hypotheses.
•Goals (OKRs) drive everything; Ideas are hypotheses, not commitments
•Steps are short experiments that validate ideas before investment
•Most ideas are wrong — test before building, not after
•Tasks are daily work managed in sprints or Kanban within the current step
