Report

A very simple template to use the GIST framework. GIST is a framework developed by Itamar Gilad. The acronym stands for Goals, Ideas, Steps, and Tasks.

This framework is designed to streamline product planning and execution by breaking down the process into manageable components. Goals outline what the team aims to achieve, ideas are potential ways to reach these goals, steps are mini-projects that implement ideas in phases, and tasks are the day-to-day activities that bring steps to life.

The GIST framework helps align product development tasks with broader business objectives, fostering clarity and alignment among team members and stakeholders.
