David Allen said 15% external brainstorming and 5% project planning require one or more of the 5 steps.
So, doesn't project planning have to go from the bottom up?
Then, for example, can I write down only results without brainstorming or organizing?

Sometimes yes . . . sometimes insufficient?

I feel the need for an example of what you mean?

You can certainly write the project outcome before you brainstorm or organize.
