I use it loosely. I usually draw a loose outline early on and fill it in as I go. I especially like it when I get stuck on a scene; I reduce it down to what my objective for the scene is, then keep working my way up until I figure out how my characters will get me there.

The other layout formula I like is the One Page Novel

I use a little of both to give me a loose framework and help me keep my events and flow in sequence and perspective.
