I am not a PM, so at least I found this definition and mental model useful. Why is no one commenting on this answer!


Because the definitions and leveling are arbitrary and cultural within a given firm or context. Notice how "plan" is both at the bottom level, and also the highest level by being all encompassing if you call it "long term".

That said, regardless of labels, this leveled model is reasonable and better than a model that isn't cascaded.
